This time of year the bees are multiplying like crazy. So this weekend it was all about expanding the hives at home, This top hive is looking pretty busy, all those bees trying to get in the door way. By the end of the day it has now got another box on top. Not that that will make the doorway less crowded, but conditions inside will be more spacious, and more room for honey-making.
Even Spike the goat, who lives over the driveway from the bees, was pretty interested. Or maybe its just quite boring being a goat, and any activity is welcome?
Nice looking platform the bees are on! Very tidy.
ReplyDeleteHey thanks! We made our first platforms to cope with Mike's vertiginous backyard in Wellington. And then liked them so much, we made a whole heap at David's place too.
