As promised, Bee Boss Alex turned up between Christmas and New Year with bees, approximately 100,000 of them in two hives, and set them up in one of the paddocks facing all the soon-to-be flowering manuka. 
Soon, the bees were well settled in and the serious business of making honey was started once more. There are two queens in the hive on the left and heaps of honey boxes at the top of both hives.
We look forward to tasting the fruits of their labours very soon. Posted by Farmer Wan

That concept is so breathtakingly cool that I can't think of anything to say about it, apart from wishing like hell I could hear a performance! Leave a Reply. |
