I have been keeping bees for eighteen months now and back doing my BBKA introducation course. Visit the British Bee keepers website for further information or to find your local branch. I keep my bees in a traditional shaped hive called a WBC and currently have one hive occupied, hoping to be able to split the bees this year.Here is a picture I took in New Zealand at their annual flower show, they are also worried about their bee populations and are raising awareness. This hive is a National shaped hive which is the most popular shape as is quick and easy to look after.
