moxy 617 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 There are some good threads on here regarding this topic, full of useful info, I think trapperman had a good thread I will search out the links. Spend the winter sorting out the equipment you need and a suitable site. Hopefully come next spring you maybe lucky to get hold of a swarm. The bees will look after themselves.
