    Hello all,
    I am looking for a temporary site to house a couple of hives until the autumn. There will be some local honey for your troubles :) Location wise: South/west of Dublin, North Wicklow, Kildare, Meath. Any questions, please PM me.
    Thank a lot!

    Hi, new beekeeper here and looking for a secure place to keep a beehive in North Dublin. I live in Whitehall, looking for somewhere between Drumcondra and Swords or that general area. Thanks.

    Hi all.

    I’ve 25 acres of forest and 30 acres of grass here in mid-County Waterford if anyone is interested in having a look.

    We’re just off the main N25 between Dungarvan and Waterford, about 3 miles from Kilmacthomas and 1 mile from the Greenway.

    You are too far away for me to take advantage of this offer. But if nobody has approached you I'd recommend contacting your local branch of beekeepers.


    Probably

    I have no doubt that someone would be more than happy to take up your very generous offer.

    I am currently looking for an apiary site in Glanmire in cork.

    I must still approach a few landowners, but farmers especially are very hesitant to allow others access to their land for whatever reasons.

    Long chance but, I am looking to set up a small apiary somewhere near Drogheda. I am a full-time employed IT professional, looking to get into beekeeping because I love being out in the nature, and truly appreciate the significance of pollinators to the world etc. And also to get my small kids interested in what nature has to give. Honey would be a bonus! Please PM.

    I need to move my apiary of 10 beehives that currently reside in Dublin 15.

    I'm happy to pay a farmer or land owner within 30 minutes driving distance of Blanchardstown.

    Bit of planning for next year.


    Looking to split out my current apiary to somewhere around North Kerry.


    Long shot as the thread isn't very active.


    Thanks

    We are planning to start a bee farm in India. The Indian government is encouraging beekeeping as pollination is decreasing. There are many subsidies available for starting this apiculture.
