March: Work Gets Underway.....

We've been struggling for space for a while at the Apiary shop and have spent quite some time working out what needed to be kept and where and trying to rearrange everything ...but somehow we hadn't quite managed to "crack" exactly what was needed.

Then we struck on a plan for a storage cabin....it would mean re arranging some hives a bit but we  could tackle some ground works improvements at the same time...

Work needed to get underway before the weather improves and the bees really get out flyin, this net isn't going to distract the girls from this direction for very long...

so here's a shot of our new path....

 

and from the other side with its "don't walk here I'm to dry yet protective" bin and ladder...

Our cabin base and improved paths...

As the new path was still drying out the candidates for this morning's BBKA module exams got to be the first people to use the new approach..

What a good job the apiary classroom doesn't look this intimidating all the time...

Here's hoping all the candidates will have got on as well as our builders!
