Phil Chandler on BBC2

The top-bar hive is probably the oldest system of beekeeping in the world going back several thousand years. Neil, Carol’s husband, decided this is the method of beekeeping he wants to pursue. Phil Chandler, of the 'Natural Bee Keeping forum' is the bee expert, and helps him set-up his new hive of honey bees.

This is the proposed position of the Apiary at Aunt Addies community farm project here is a link to more videos of the farm  My videos  to give people some idea of the project as it stands at the moment

This picture shows the corner where the Apiary will be placed, I will fence this off and plant some hedging plants around the area.I am looking at putting a fence around the small plot maybe out to the third post in the first picture and thirty foot this way.


This picture shows you where this in the field and the direction north.


 Taken from the corner looking around the area.


This shows the fence dividing the allotments from the organic farm and barn.


 This is the orchard its very you only planted in april 2010
