About

Summer of 2013 and I have decided to start keeping bees!... well more housing bees. The "keeping" part sounds a little possessive if you ask me. I intend to produce low cost Apis housing collecting rent annually or biannually in honey.

I built myself a kenyan topbar hive and have managed to over winter the tiny very late cast swarm I caught at the end of July 2013.

This blog picks up the story after I was forced to move the colony in Mar 2014 to a new location, whilst also attempting to catch more swarms. Wish me luck!

Here a little something around my thinking ;)
