I am going to be taking it ezze this year after being flat out for the last three years. Working for the NHS though Covid. Flat out on the work front (MY DAY JOB) and on trying to promote GARDENERS BEEHIVE,
BUT over the last three years though covid I was able to put my book together. AND this is so supper exiting.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE for their support and if you get one thank you and enjoy.

Note on the wasps. the entrance hols on the Gardeners Beehive are a specific size and length. I noticed that bees and wasps cannot fight head on , from looking at and in a wild hive, so I incorporated this in a hive, tested it and it works so now I incorporate it in all my hives.
Hi Kevin,
I thought you'd be pleased to hear that I now have bees in the hive I bought from you last Autumn. Just by chance I happened to be in my orchard digging ragwort and thistles out and noticed a swarm in one of my trees, what a beautiful site.
I'm assuming that they have swarmed from my original colony in 'The Bee Shed'. So not wanting to leave it to fate and hope they'd find the hive I called a friend in and she scooped them all up and transferred them to the hive.
Such a fascinating thing to watch as they stragglers walked up the ramp into the hive. They have settled in nicely and there is a lot of activity around the hive now 2 days later.
Kind regards
??? in Cornwall

Honey bees have a number of quirks.
Beekeeping takes advantage of bees innate survival urge to have to fill the nest box. Beekeepers add more and more space to the hive over summer stressing the bees and forcing them though their own survival instinct to fill this space taking advantage of this urge. Then before winter they take this honey.
My system takes advantage of another quirk.
Bees though summer will squirrel way honey in all the side nooks and crannies.
This is not the quirk I take advantage of.
The quirk is this. In winter they will not retrieve this honey no matter how desperate they may become, and because of this and the fact that removing this honey has absolutely not impact on their ability to over winter. This is the only reason I advocate my completely unique honey harvesting system.
Yes it is unreliable, but that is not the point, it’s just a cool funky thing to do that has little to no impact on the bees.
