Beginning beekeeper?
We are happy to help you on your way! Imkershop also has a suitable hive for sale for you.

A beekeeper or association in your neighborhood can then easily help you get bees at the right window size for your hive. Do you find it difficult to make a choice? Then feel free to contact us.
If you place hives in your own, it's a great opportunity to learn even more about nature on a daily basis. For example, you will see how important the climate is for bees and experience the differences between honey bees, solitary bees and wasps. Before taking over a hive offered for sale, it is advisable to visit an experienced beekeeper and have a look. Also, the books "First Aid for Beekeeping - E.H.B.I.) and "Beekeeping How Do You Do It?" are standard works for the (beginning) beekeeper. A hive in your own garden is best placed with the flight opening facing south or southeast. If you want to prevent the bees from volatilizing (from one hive to another), a meter apart is the best positioning. Furthermore, it is fine to place them on a perch about 40 cm off the ground. This ensures that moisture from the ground has no chance and you have a pleasant working height. Beekeeping is a fascinating hobby in which you are constantly amazed and continue to learn. No bee year is the same!
