Diary of the bee hives at "My Garden" 2003 and onwards...................
 
 
New for 2006 almost 2007! - Modified Abbé Warré Hive - details and pros and cons.
 
 
 
 
 
 
2003
Hives were placed at the top of the steep slope which is part of "My Garden". This has an advantageous position with a panoramic view over Llanystumdwy village. No honey was drawn from the three hives in 2003.
 
 
 
2004
The three hives were reduced to two. 2004 was not a very successful year for honey. Honey was drawn twice in June and September and the quantities produced were well down on what was expected. This was true of most apiaries in the area.
