Our expanded apiary

This is a picture of one of our apiaries - where we have located temporarily the hives containing the feral bee colonies we rescued over the past week.It's a good location, surrounded by gardens with lots of flowers throughout spring, summer and autumn. That means there is good foraging for the bees. By this time next year, we hope to have relocated the feral hives to the community garden project in Marley Hill. And hopefully they will also be into honey production by then as well.
