It has been awhile since I have posted.
We worked our way up to 6 hives and then lost all but two.
So we are in a re-building phase.
Some were from caught swarms, so they absconded.
Some were bought from commercial beekeepers and they were weak hives that did not do well.
Losses also affected many local keepers. One man had 30 hives and he lost 20.
One many had over 100, he is down to less than half that.. He lost many in the recent flash flooding.
Time to keep on keeping on..
Here are images of some of the roses that the bees have been feeding on in the last year. I will be posting more shortly. You can also follow me on my instagram feed at
