Hi Philip, we have four bee hives a the moment. They are working real hard...you can see them flying in and out constantly.

We have four traditional WBC hives but this is a top bar hive you do not get as much honey from it but it is a more natural way of keeping bees.

Our bees are still dying, from things like the varroa mite, nosema, and foulbrood the list goes on. But as usual man is the main culprit.
