I want to keep bees but dont want to go through any boring courses. Any advice? Where can i get bees? Cheap but good hive? Tools? Food?
I concur with the posts of my fellow forum members re courses.
From the posts before mine it would appear that none of the posters found their course 'boring' and I would question where your mindset is coming from that you have already preordained that a 'course' would be boring.
If you have a genuine interest in becoming a keeper of bees, keeping your bees healthy and providing for their needs with the small possibility that you may be rewarded with a 'return' of some honey - then you will understand the benefits of........
Attending a course - which will lay the solid foundations for you to develop and build on to thoroughly enjoy this pastime.
Socialising / getting know the tutors / fellow beekeepers and developing your skills with their guidance and support.
Open communication - two way dialogue which will reward you with information on where you can source supplies and help you build good contacts.
There are many many members - experienced and inexperienced on this forum, everybody is willing to help and guide each other and I would recommend that you listen to their guidance and suggestions, reconsider your views on courses, make contact with your local association and perhaps see if there is a one day 'taster' course in your area.
Look on the positives and grasp every opportunity to increase your knowledge,
very best wishes,
