Not Another New Concept! ?
Following on from my last blog:
Am I another one of these people who thinks my way is best/ better? Another hive design and management regime? I don't know, maybe I am. But just to reiterate that for me, the bees are the most important and that they should thrive.

Deep thoughts on the next step......
I have moved away from mainstream beekeeping principles as I believe they are not best for the bees. I have spent well over a year now thinking how to proceed. I have tried and tested some alternative methods with some success. I have developed my own approach towards caring for the bees and albeit unorthodox it seems the right way, even though it flies in the face of recognised teachings. My concern is what is best for the bees.In getting it right they may reward me with excess honey and numbers. I am committed to this path even if it means "wasting" a lot of my current equipment. I only wish others could see it too.

Dear Santa....
Checking my apiary sites today in the bleak cold frosty settings all was still and quiet, on the outside...but on the inside I would hope there was a warm/hot and cosy environment! Maybe if santa had a small cash surplus I could wish for a thermal camera and endoscope just to make sure!
