We need to spend more time looking after our bees. However, time is something in short supply for us. So we have come to a deal with a friend. He keeps his bees on our farm and we have handed over to him all our hives and equipment. In return we get a regular supply of honey. Yesterday we moved a large number of empty hives to the farm. More will go there shortly.
A change in the tenancy agreement at the Whinnies means we have to remove all large animals from the site. So the goats we have there have either already been moved to our farm, or will go soon. The only ones left are Florence and her two kids. They will be moved soon. Our cockerels will also have to be removed as part of the new terms and conditions. We had already planned to slaughter all but two of the cockerels anyway. They too will be removed to the farm where we will build a chicken run to house them and the hens.
