It's been a while!
Whilst on holiday I have finally spotted a bee house (beehaus) or too.

1st beehaus with space for approx 30 colonies!

And then I stumbled upon a mobile version even higher up the mountains!

They are beautiful.
Beecraft cover?
Where are they?

Where are they?

They are at an altitude of approx 1200m in the Swiss mountains.
I would love to meet the local beekeeper and have a tour but I'm afraid there is snow here from December - April most years so I guess they will not be very active till then!

1. A super frame filling with Nectar / Honey
2. A pretty full frame of sealed brood.

Hmm not sure what has happened to the attachments in my older posts!

Lovely shots especially to look at as the rain hammers down

Photos seem to be disappearing wholesale.
All gone on the pollen thread too

All the thumbnails prior to post 31 are not present or active for me, but 31 and following are fine. Anyone any idea why? Are you going to put them all in your web gallery?

I've started trying to sort the ones I posted and add them to my gallery.

More will be added when I get the time!
