Beekeeping

Ok,  I've never really blogged about my beekeeping before.  It's an interest I've had for may be 10 years,  but my early forays were so dispiriting that I gave it away from a while.  When I did return,  it was via Australian stingless bees, Trigonula Carbonara.  These guys are hardy and though production is limited,  they need little maintenance.  But I needed more of a challenge.
Last January,  when the drought was petwring out,  I got a new nuc. These were transferred you an 8 frame, deep box and yesterday it was described by my mentor as "the best hive ever".
Today,  I returned to add an Ideal super and sugar feeder

To be continued.
