Listen "Beekeeping: West Linton and District Beekeepers Association"
Episode Synopsis
Learning all about bees: on a driech day in Edinburgh I went to visit the West Linton & District Beekeepers group in an equally driech Carlops, in the Pentland Hills. There weren't many bees buzzing around on the day I dropped by to the apiary as it was a bit cold, but I still spent a brilliant hour with a great group of enthusiasts.
We talked all things bees, cold summers, swarms and the benefits of an absorbing hobby in the outdoors. They were a fascinating group of bee experts and enterprising member, Jane, managed to get my microphone right inside a hive to hear what it sounds like inside!
