Bee Keeping Advice needed!!

Recommended Posts

I have been entertaining the thought of keeping bees, I had a tiny bit

of experience in England but never thought about it seriously until now.

I live in a very rural, natural area of France, I was concerned if I

set up a hive or two, there wouldn't be enough food for them unless I

was to give them food artificailly which I don't want to do. There are

no arable crops in this area, the nearset wood is some 2 km away and we

have no neighbours so few cultivated flowers to feed on.

Would there be sufficient food for bees in this area?

All advice gratefully recieved

Hi Fiona,

I used to keep bees many years ago and have thought about doing so again but the varroa problem has put me off. To answer your query bees will travel a lot furher than 2 kms to find food and wheras your area may not be able to sustain a commercial apiary one or two hives should be no problem. Good luck and keep posting your progress.
