Aquila, welcome to our forum, so great that you have found us.  This will be a place where you can tell us your stories, tales and experiences, and make some new friends.  We did, as Kathy said, have a member in Finland, Finsky was his handle, he has not been active for some long time.  I am of Finnish descent, and have a Finnish Sister-in-Law.  We love new members, stick around.  Have a wonderful day, great health.  Cindi

Thanks everybody.
Hear are some general information about beekeeping in Finland that I know.
As I know we have 3000 beekeepers and totally 47 000 hives in Finland. This information I have got from beekeepers association. Finland is a country with population about 6-7 millions.
A real flow season is about 3 months.
Most popular hive system is 10 deep frames Langstroth.
Commercial beekeepers use normally only this standard. Hobby beekeepers use narrow frames also.
Polystyrene hives are a standard now but some senior beekeepers still use hives from wood.
An annual number of hives that professionals have are about 150-300. One beekeeper has 3000 but he is only one, as I know.

.
Let me provide my request also.

I will be in the USA some time in September-November just for two-tree weeks.

I would like to find an opportunity to get training work in professional beekeeping place. I would like to get new experience in ways of caring bees as well as making honey and comb honey especially. Also I am interesting in different equipment that may be popular in the USA but not in Europe.

I will be grateful for any help with this issue.
