Your bee association might be able to put you onto a beekeeper who leases hives. Let us know what you can find out.Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-33477559054330747252016-07-22T11:06:32.743+09:302016-07-22T11:06:32.743+09:30This is so tempting, but I'm concerned at this...This is so tempting, but I'm concerned at this time our garden does not have enough flowers and plants to warrant it yet. It was very bare when we moved in apart from the fruit trees and bare ground. I have a little more then that now, but still lacking in flowers. Perhaps in the future! :) <br /><br />xxEmma Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500696381837942950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-5645247047538563892016-07-22T10:34:34.652+09:302016-07-22T10:34:34.652+09:30Such a wonderful idea Sally.

We should be getting our own hives in the next couple of years and a year of practice would have been really good.<br /><br />I hope you get a few takers, our bees and their keepers are things to be treasured ... and of course there's the honey :-)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-82494106247135904902016-07-21T11:12:31.469+09:302016-07-21T11:12:31.469+09:30When extracting the honey we take extra care not t...When extracting the honey we take extra care not to damage any of the wax in the bee's framework. If the bees are forced to repair any wax damage, this slows down the honey production. So no, we don't take honeycomb.

Someone wanted to buy them but he wants to keep them 'just in case' so who knows, perhaps he will keep bees once again 'one of these days' :-)Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.com
