Presents For Beekeepers (UK)
I remember the difficulties of buying Dad presents at Birthday and Christmas and often resorting to his hobby of golf. Here’s some ideas if you are looking for present ideas for your beekeeping husband, wife, mum, dad, grandma or grandpa. I start with the obvious beekeeping guides and equipment and then move on to other ideas, e.g. cute stuff for their young children.
