Welcome to our gallery, where we will be posting pictures of the bees activities and keeping you up to date on all the activities in and around the hive.

Bees that have been in their new hive for approximately 3weeks. See how the honeycomb is still white? This is an indication of the freshness of the hive. |

Bees will make their homes in the most unexpected places. This poolpump housing seems to be the ideal spot, especially since it is something does not get tampered with, allowing the bees to live in peace. | |
A hollow tree trunk is an ideal place for a colony of bees to make a home. It will probably only have one entrance making it easier to guard, and where there is one tree there are usually othe trees and flowering plants from which to forage. In these pictures it looks as if someone has put a lid in place to try and keep the bees out. |

When we remove our bees we try to do it as quickly and as humanely as possible so that there is minimal disruption to the colony. We transport them to a farm or a field in the country the we use to rehive the bees and house them in a new hive. Note the entrances to the hives have got covers on. This allows bees easy access but makes it difficult for bigger predators and pests to get into the hive. |
