Not to prison but on holiday. :lol:

On our visit to North Devon, we visited this place.





Quinces Honey Farm is in South Molten and this notice of their's, explains what they do much better than I could.





In addition to a cafe and shop, they have created a marvellous display with the bees. Here are the pictures of bee colonies as they have been found in the wild. We must have seen billions of bees. :-)




















Here are examples of the hives used today.











I couldn't resist this picture.





If you get the chance, Quinces Honey farm is a must too visit. We have returned home with several types of honey including a delicious jar made by the bees while they were out on the heather. :

My mum would be so excited! She is just getting going keeping bees. Going to bee school and awaiting an available nuc. Has just had a new knee fitted so if one comes up in the next couple of weeks I am being drafted in to collect it and a crash course in bee keeping. And Beesuits are just SO unflattering. :oops:
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

Thanks for sharing. :)
I demand the right to buy seed of varieties that are not "distinct, uniform and stable".
