We have had bee hives in the orchard almost from the day the orchard began. These have been looked after by a couple of different beekeepers over the years, and more recently we have hosted some hives on behalf of another beekeeper. She has now moved on, and so we currently have no hives in the orchard. Space for hives is at the top of the orchard, and the orchard can accommodate up to five hives. So if you are (or know of) a beekeeper who would like to put hives in the orchard, please get in touch!
