Hello all
Just been watching this week's Gardeners World to see Monty Don talking about concern re bee numbers, good bee planting etc & then went on to introduce & explain the new addition to his garden - a Top Bar Hive. Thought it worth a mention! Hope everyone well.

Anyone want a hive?
We're going to be moving house in the near future and the garden there will not be suitable for bee keeping. So, if anyone wants my hive they're more than welcome to it.
It doesn't look as though the bees have survived the winter. There's no sign of any activity around the hive and, having had a quick peep inside, there seems to be loads on honey still in the combs.
Unfortunately I can't get the hive in the car so if you do want it you'll have to sort out transport.
Please get in touch if you or anyone you know is interested.
Hope to see you at the next meeting
