Honey. Drizzled over a slice of fresh bread... or eaten directly from the spoon... is one of life's great pleasures. And with beehives springing up on urban rooftops, in next door's back garden - even schemes for adopting bees or renting hives - becoming a honey producer seems... possible. So how easy is it and what's involved?
By sharing the journey of 18-year-old beekeeper Orren Fox - who clearly remembers what it's like to be a rookie - you'll discover that keeping your own honeybees is easier than you think. Find out:
- How and where to set up your hive
