Beekeeper?
Yes! I began my training ten years ago I’ve always had a strong interest in this hobby, I say hobby as I am not a professional Beekeeper its really a fascinating interest that links in with my personal need to contribute to the environment in a positive way. This year I hosted a Beehive/bait hive with a conservation project run by Open Hive and I can happily say I caught a swarm that has now been rehomed.
