I have attend Natural Beekeeping courses and on the 4th June we collected a package of bees.
The seller thought we were heading for disappointment as we had a top bar hive, made by Chris to Phil Chandler's design. But supplied the bees anyway.
It was pitch dark and there was a rain storm when we hived them. We did it all wrong, but the next day it was sunshine and the bees seemed happy. We have not opened the hive, but we are feeding them. We will let two lunar months pass before we look inside.
We are building another hive, how close/far apart should hives bee?
