Here are just a few of the many pictures that we’ve taken over the years of our many bee adventures.
The Misfits 2011
The last hive to have it’s honey taken off and to be fed for this year. This hive is known as the “misfits”. It was rescued from a house on Greenhill and until we knew for sure wether or not there were any health issues with this hive we couldn’t add it to our regular beeyards. It didn’t fit in, hence the name. It now lives happily in the backyard of Nova Scotia’s “Kilted Chef” along the Northhumberland Strait.
