Have been Beekeeping for about 15 years over here in the UK currently have 15 hives 13 National and 2 WBC hives most of them are down a friends orchard but i do have the 2 WBC's in my back garden,not alot happening at the moment with them but the should start flying again on a regular basis before too long.
The 2 most daunting things that i can remember was the 1st time i took the lid of the first hive and all those bees start flying around you but the fear soon went away and the other most daunting thing is when you take your 1st swarm mine was up a 15ft apple tree but once you have done it then its pretty easy and you also have aquired a free colony of bees
