Phil Chandler's beekeeping rants...

...well that's what my friends call this blog - and it's not far from the mark, I suppose. Bees and beekeeping have become a bit of an obsession of mine over that last few years and this blog is a great way to get stuff off my chest. I have a 'proper' - see Biobees.com - with information about my experiments with sustainable beekeeping in top bar hives.

A group of us 'natural beekeepers' have formed a charity called 'Friends of the Bees', with the aim of raising funds to do more research into low-cost, low-impact beekeeping.

Here is a Beekeeping Bookshop that you may like to peruse, while those of you who live in Devon may find some useful beekeeping information at the South Devon Beekeeping site.

I have started a personal blog, where I will post stuff that is not necessarily related to beekeeping (I do other things as well!).
