I'm a little scared to take the plunge just yet. I will go a visit a fellow allotment holder to see how he looks after his bees. My garden is north west facing, and the back of the garden is a resoviour. I'm a little worried as I have two small dogs and not sure if its ideal to have them around the bees. I've been keen to do this for a few years and have said every Spring this will be the year I make the big jump. FInger's crossed this will be a good year.

If only people were aware how easy it is to keep bees, you need a solid Bee Hive, bee safety equipment and suitable knowledge on beekeeping. Then you're good to go!

I would like to start bee keeping, and would like to know if the hive needs to point north south or east ,west. The wall that I would like to put the hive by is north facing and in the shade. My garden is large and open with a magnolia tree to large ponds

I would love to have bees in my South London garden. Not for the honey, but because I notice that I see less and less bees each year. Also for pollination of fruits, etc. Is this possible? I have poor mobility, but, as I said, I would just enjoy knowing I was doing something for the environment and for these wonderful animals.
