I am looking forward to retirement ina short while. (Please don't tell the wife!!)
A friend in the village has several acres of land and a large appetite for honey. He has suggested that I might like to expand my operation and use his property as an Apiary site. Following some light hearted banter, (where am I going to hide from the wife during wet winter days etc), his wife suggested a Bee House. She had seen them in Europe. I have done some research on the web. I have the necessary skills to convert a bog stsndard garden shed into a bee house. Has anyone any knowledge and experience of bee houses, good or bad, that they are willing to pass on.
