Hi there,
I recently returned to Ireland after a lifetime abroad and am living in the Gillogue area, Clonlara, Co. Clare.
I have no prior experience but am interested in
exploring the potential of bee keeping/organic honey production as a hobby/small business.
If the idea had potential, then I would be keen to read up on it, attend courses, meet with others who share the same interests.
I look forward to your response
Thank you and regards
Shane K Beaey
