Bee-Keeping Site 3

in homesteading •  4 years ago 

Hey everyone, bee-keeping really is an incredibly rewarding hobby/business, one of the things I am most fond of is the fact that I am able to spend alot of time in nature and with views like this why not?

The above pic was taken from the main entrance to the farm and not from the top of the hill where our bees reside. Reason for this is we had to wait a few minutes for the farm owner to come and open the gate, I just had to capture the epic sunset and so I did, albeit pylons blocking the view a little !

From the gate looking into the farm and 180 degrees the inter-leading forest road with blue-gum trees the nice thing is bees forage these trees in season too which helps for the honey flow.

We use a 4x4 to access these hives, its almost impossible to carry heavy hives on this terrain, too many rocks, ditches etc!

My landlord and bee-partner just before he was about to get attacked by a few beers, he did not have his bee-suit on at this stage was rather funny after the fact not so much for him though!

This is such a nice view of our 5 hives on a really high fire stand, This stand works really well to prevent local critters destroying our hives as well as ants and more, it also protects the bees and hives in the event of a veld fire.
