Hi all.

Yes, it's lovely up there but a bit blowey at times.

The hive tied to the turret was the original. We were worried about the effects of wind and the heat of the sun on the lead roof. So we located it there as a trial.

It's an awesome location Dusty ... short of a hurricane you should be OK with the weight of the hive and those planks ... Manchester will have a lot more to worry about if it gets to the point where your hives become airborne !!

Shame on you caging them up like that - why can't you let them roam freely?

Even gooseberries like to stray far and wide
 
Think its more likely to keep thing out than things out !!

The doctor says it is under control as long as I take the medicine and attend my daily clinics....:serenade:
 
A Highwayman was hanged in the hedge behind the hives in the 1700s.
 
Do my eyes deceive me or are some of the hives not vertical ? Especially on the right?

Or is it lens distortion?
 
The wall is shoulder height next to the kitchen window on 'their' side - hence the debris netting
