Good day
I'm curently getting ready to join the ranks of those who keep bees as a hobby.
I had to give up my other hobies (skydiving, fishing, motorbikes) after a near fatal car crash, don't ask me why beekeeping as I don't recall having any notion to do so before my accident.
For my first post on here I have two questions.
I live a few miles from Edinburgh Airport and as my girlfriend is not too keen on me keeping bees in our garden as we have a two year old daughter, I approached a local farmer to seek permission to keep my bees on his land and he was happy for me to do so.
I only have one concern about the spot where I have been given the ok to keep my bees, it is only a few hundred yards from the main flightpath for planes landing at Edinburgh.
Question 1 - Do you think the noise could cause any problems for my bees?
Question 2 - As I'm recovering from two breaks to my back do you have any tips to reduce the likelyhood of back strain other than having my hive on legs?
