How to put beehives on a steep hill? One of our home sites is in Wellington, that wonderful city of extreme verticality. Bush covered hillside can be lovely - from the window. But once you try to set up beehives you are in trouble.
So the bee troops came up with the great idea to build a platform, to level out the hives a bit.
The bees will have an excellent view. And don't need a cable car to access their hive, although the beekeepers might.
And the idea worked so well, we made some more in Auckland. Not nearly as steep in Auckland on the whole of course, but pretty useful to have an easy platform.
