yeah, will have a sit down tonight - I would like to revamp the different forum topics as I still think that there is some overlap with some and some areas that are not catered for.

I have a hive set up and am hoping to get a swarm off a pal this summer. I'd love to share tips here!

I've been a member of the Scottish Beekepers' Asssociation for years - always hoping to actually get active, too... Have just cancelled my membership, after they'd had to remind me they had increased their membership fees. I realised that I haven't actually read their magazine for months now (which is why I'd missed the rise in fees). No chance now of ever getting bees set up - not in the near future, anyway, so I might as well save myself the fees! They include insurance for the hives, so it's a good idea to become member, if you do have bees.

To echo Kimmie's replies, I would love to get them. Just a thought though, what about approaching Aberdeen Beekeepers as a Neeps Group? Rather than as individuals, to see if they could cater for us as a group.

What do you think?

Really like the idea. Seems to be enough of us interested.

That sounds like a great idea Matt - will talk to you about it tomorrow at Sass's.
