Bees be on the plot!!!

Well I know I showed you my new hives in my last post and I said how I wasn't getting my own bees until next year. Well the words 'my own' were true, however I do now have bees on the allotment. I am looking after two hives for Jez but also there is a poly nuc on there that we are going to try transferring into one of my hives in a couple of days. No photo's yet but I will put you some up tomorrow and tell you more about them....Lovely pollinating little things are going to give us all wonderful crops...and hopefully 'beehave' and not sting anybody!!!

Updates and photos to come tomorrow!!!!

    1. Homes are all done Sue...planting is still a work, well I would like to say 'in progress' but it really hasn't started yet. They have plenty to feast on around the plot though!

  5. I may have mentioned this before but if you have a position sheltered form strong winds grow at least one cardoon. Ours are crawling with honeybees at the moment
