Well we've had our bee talk and have agreed to carry on with our bee enterprises. We don't aim to increase our apiaries and plan to keep our hives down to around 21 at the peak. We've got insurance that allows for an extra two on top of that so should manage it (famous last words!). We're a little clearer about what hives we will use where and numbers of colonies at each site. I'm sure there will be lots more discussion but we just need to stay organised and try to manage our time in the best way.
One exciting thing for the new year - we want to experiment with top bar hives. So, watch this space!
