I was wondering if anyone here has ever considered keeping bees?
If so, what was the outcome?
If not, would you ever consider keeping bees?

I've put together a wee questionnaire that basically asks the same questions, and I'd be immensely grateful if anyone finds the time to fill it out:

If questionnaires aren't your thing, just let me know your thoughts here!

Thanks for taking the time to read this, I look forward to hear from you.

If I were set up with all relevant equipment and given an idiots guide to do so, I would gladly try my hand at bee keeping!
An initial site visit and a once in a while visit wouold also make me feel better.
Perhaps it is the thought of getting stung that puts people off..........
It is in the back of my mind......
How difficult is it??
How much space do you need??
