A split from yesterday, coming apart perfectly at the advancing front. You can see the Pollen pots towards the front of the hive (right) and Honey pots at the rear (left). I've placed a triple honey jar frame on top for a trial.
Fairy Door Observation Hive connected up today. (Budding/Eduction/Duplication).
Firstly i disguised the main hive with a photo of the fairy door to get the bees used to the image for a week. (who even knows if that works...it's entertaining anyway, and so the bees are off! To see the full build article click here: www.nativebeehives.com/fairy-door-hive/
