For about eight years I've had hives on my air raid shelter roof, about eight feet up and accessed by a ladder. It didn't feel unsafe. On one side there's a huge cupressus, and the other there was a Wendy house, and behind that soft soil covered in brambles. To the rear was a privet hedge. So the only way to fall and suffer serious damage was at the front, and that was on to a flower bed.
But both my wife and my bee buddy's wife worried, and getting full supers down was a chore.
The whole garden was overgrown anyway, and the lawn in a dreadful state, so we decided to redo it.
The Wendy house and the brambles went. A patio was put in their place. And now, at great expense, the crowning glory, guard rails and steps.
