Paul Metcalf takes us through the bee-keeping year, from April to the onset of winter. He explains carefully and demonstrates the management of the hive, including swarm control, disease control, honey extraction and feeding. The video is paced to allow the viewer time to study in detail correct handling procedures at all stages of the hive's summer cycle. Paul Metcalf has been keeping bees for 50 years. For twelve of those he was the Beekeeping Advisor for Norfolk and he is lecturer on beekeeping at Easton College. The programme has been produced by Great Takes Television whose producer-director Bill Smith was for many years a broadcaster and producer for Anglia Television.
