Well Bee-Hived

Our resident ‘Bee-Man’ Paul Totterdell spent a couple of days in his back garden this week building beehives from a flat-packed kit comprising many pieces of wood and many many nails. The outer shells and inner boxes of the hives are now complete but they still need bases and the internal frames (the racks that the bees build their honeycomb on). They’ll be transferred to Honeydale Farm later this week ready for painting before the bees arrive, which we are expecting to be during the first week of July.
