Two hives completed, thanks to Mike who spent a couple of days assembling all the bits into frames etc.  They are ready to be put in place but we need to move a couple of slabs to go  underneath them, having made sure they are perfectly level.  Bees don't like living on a slope or at least they make lopsided honey if they do!

Making a start

3/2/2021

 
On Sunday, last day of February, we decided to open the boxes, these are just some of the contents, what a lot of kindling!  With the help of Google, a beekeeping friend, Hayes manual and the instructions it is beginning to make sense.  I hope it will to the bees.

    I have loved the idea of keeping bees for many years, but for various reasons have never got around to it.  However my brother-in-law who is a very experienced apiarist of over thirty years, has persuaded me to take the plunge into this fascinating and rewarding enterprise.

    Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.
