Hi, I have been looking at some of the bee threads posted on here. I have been toying with the idea of keeping bees for a couple of years now but before I take the plunge I hope that a kind knowledgeable beekeeper could answer a couple of questions for me. I would be very grateful.
Firstly, are there any laws that I need to know about, ie liability? I have a well used and popular public footpath that runs along the side of my fence. Would warning signs be sufficient?
Secondly, unfortunately my young lab chases bees and flies etc! I am hoping he will soon learn but could this cause bees to become angry? The hive would be situated in the fenced off veg garden so he wont be able to "pester" it. I also have phone numbers of the local beekeepers association should I decide to go ahead.
Thanks in advance
