Big THANK YOU to Tim & Julie Kirby

I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Tim Kirby for helping me to set up this blog. Tim is in IT and a Beekeeper! I met Tim & his wife Julie on one of my beekeeping courses. I run Adult beginner beekeeping courses each year from April to Sept. 

Tim and Julie signed up for my weekend course and it was soon apparent that they were serious about beekeeping. They excelled during the course showing intelligence , common sense and compassion for the craft. They committed to buying a colony from me last year. That colony under their care has grown and they have successfully divided it this year, adding a new colony to there apiary. Both have healthy mated queens. They are feeding them well at present and no doubt next year they will be dividing again! They are a tribute to beekeeping.

Hi James,
