Newbie in Kilsyth

[MacBees]

Hi there. I'm thinking of starting beekeeping in Kilsyth. Can anyone point me in the right direction for some advice? I have access to all the equipment as my Mum used to keep bees. I have a south facing garden and enthusiasm! I assume I'll need a bit of experience to see me on my way, and would appreciate any pointers for any local meetings or groups. Thanks.

Good decision! You can find all the experience you need at the Kelvin Valley Beekeepers Association and in particular Ian Ferguson:

It is a small and friendly organisation. There is also a Glasgow-wide group now meeting in Scotstoun Community Centre. Contact Mhairi at the Glasgow Beekeepers to find out more:
