Join me on my first-year beekeeping journey in Ireland, from taking my first beekeeping course with my local association to the thrill of catching my first swarm of native Irish bees, Apis mellifera mellifera. I share what inspired me to start beekeeping, weekly hive inspections, setting up a new plot of land for my bees, and preparing the hives for winter.
Whether you're curious about beekeeping, a beginner looking for tips, or a fellow beekeeper in Ireland or the UK, this video offers insights, excitement, and a glimpse into the fascinating world of keeping bees.
