Click is going to be running a 'high tech' allotment.

And they have a couple of beehives, which of course have 'full house' Arnia instrumentation.
They have a mentor ... ! (Or possibly full-time beekeeper ...)

There are the expected couple of eyebrow-raisers in the voiceover.
Fair stab for beginners though.


Looks to me like Swienty/CWJ poly 14x12's.
I think they could have been smarter (if less stylish) with their screening and bee-upping surround. Like topping it with bee-visible trellis, rather than invisible netting. It might even have less risk of being blown away ...
And, umm, I think it would be better (for brace bomb, etc) if they had the dummy board (to which the Arnia box is attached) the other way round ... :)
