a couple of my friends are getting a hive next year so the three of us are doing a beginners bee keeping course this September so I can help out with the hive if they have to go away for a time in exchange for a share of the honey for another batch of mead.

I'll also be doing more jam and pickle making as well as bottling some fruit for the first time. I'd like to try cold smoking some fish when it cools down as well.

The OH and myself are trying to learn some herbalism this year. And I need to make some more time to practice making fire this year as I'm still pretty poor at it.

And the container garden is a learning exercise itself.

Is there not a bee keeping article on the main site? I'm happy to pass on what I learnt.

they do need the help, poor buggers. I would love a hive my self but can't have one at this house, but I am on a waiting list for a swarm for 9 years time. So I've got a little time to find space for them ^^

It's something I've wanted to do for years so I couldn't say no fast enough when my friends offered.

I want to improve my gardening skills and replace my beds with poly tunnels as for the last couple of years the growing season has been bollocks.
