Honeybees are under serious pressure from new emerging diseases and perhaps use of pesticides. Recent news about the world decline of honeybees is not myth, but a reality experienced by many Northern Ireland beekeepers, which has enouraged many nature lovers to take the plight of the honey bee under their wing. It is great that so many people are now expressing an interest in beekeeping and there are already many beekeepers keeping one or two hives in Belfast back gardens. However, beekeeping is not something that one can dive into without first gaining some background knowledge. It is strongly advised that one takes a beekeeping course such as that offered by CAFRE. The location of a hive is also something that requires a lot of care or else you might find yourself falling out with your neighbours. Your local beekeeping association will only be too glad to teach and guide new beekeepers both at a lecture and practical level. If you are considering beekeeping then it would be in your best interest to join your local club and experience practical beekeeping before investing in equipment and bees. ============================================================== |
