"I was into beekeeping and just didn't know where to start. I wanted to find out more info about where to buy equipment, what equipment I need and what it would all come to for my limited budget."
Online Masterclass Bee Training Course available for online learning to start beekeeping!
I had questions about how to get bees, what hives to use and how to choose the best bee suit and protective clothes and gloves so I don't get stung when I'm opening my hives when the thickness is too thin for our bees in Africa... Don't be fooled - bees in USA are NOT like African bees and they will WANT to Sting you when you open hives!
What worried me most was how do I work with the bees once I have them? What do I look for to keep them healthy? When do I know if the honey is ready to harvest? How do I calm them down so I can work with them and look inside the hive and find the queen bee?
I finally found a shop near Pretoria that has friendly staff and that are passionate about beekeepers wanting to start beekeeping! They stock all the tools and bee equipment I needed. They EVEN provide Beginner Beekeeper Training on a monthly basis...!
I bought a bee book, booked myself on a bee course and immediately subscribed to their FREE Bee MAIL Articles and Tips that give amazing in-depth how-to about learnt to keep bees!
