We 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. We no longer have a beekeeper, and lost our last hive to European Foulbrood disease a few years ago. The following photos serve as a reminder of our hives in years gone by.
