We have set up new wind breaks for the hives and planted more natives and bee friendly plants. The bees are now packed down for winter and enjoying the breaks in rain when they can. We are looking forward to spring so we can open back up with more stock. Thankyou for your ongoing support and we will be back up and running soon.
