Beekeeping helper wanted

One of our members is finding lifting hive boxes is getting a bit difficult for her and she would appreciate some help.  She hasn't got many colonies so it would not be too onerous.  If you are a beginner this is a good opportunity to get some experience.  
The bees are in the Lark Hill area next to the Clifton South tram terminus.  NBKA member preferred.
​If you think you could lend a hand then contact Jennifer .

PARADISE HONEY LANGSTROTH ROOF FOR SALE- £10 each

Picture
I have 4 of these roofs.  They are unpainted polystyrene.
They are listed on the Modern Beekeeping website for sale at £15.50
They have not been used as I gave up the Langstroth hives due to the weight once they had honey and brood in them.  The empty polyhives are very light and easy to carry but when they are full of honey they are very heavy.

West Bridgford
I have a small orchard in West Bridgford and wondered if any local bee keepers would like to home their bees there. There's lots of fruit trees to keep them busy and the orchard is set away from my garden and house.

Wysall
​I live in the small village of Wysall midway between Nottingham and Loughborough. Our house is set in an acre of land which includes 4 or 5 apple trees, crab apple tree and bushes, a plum tree, other trees  and flower beds with pollen laden flowers. I did look at keeping some hives myself but a introduction to bee keeping put me off. If any of your members were interested in having hives (s) on my garden I would be very keen for them to visit and see what is available here.

Owthorpe
We love bees and would like to encourage them in our garden, unfortunately we have no experience of keeping them at all. We would like to offer the use of our garden to any of your members who would like to keep a hive here. We have a large garden. There are only around 20 houses in the hamlet and we are surrounded by countryside.
We are in Owthorpe (just to the south of Cropwell Bishop).
