I know both SC and Vinny have asked for ideas for using stones/rocks they've found and I saw this photo and thought I'd share it.

I really like these beehive mounds - would be great for wildlife habitat.

So beautiful, but in a year they'll be rooted with brambles, bindweed and sticky willy, or at least they would be here!
Has Anyone Seen the Plot?

I like the look of those. I’ve been watching lots of YouTube videos this morning on beekeeping Big Grin  
Don’t think I could do that with mine. Most of them are to rounded and wouldn’t stack well.

Are you thinking of beekeeping?
We used to - many moons ago.

It’s something I’m thinking about . After we’ve got a new garden with lots of flowers in place  Smile .

Any advice would be very welcome.

Is this leading to a honey/chilli crossover line?! I hope so...

The best advice is to shadow a beekeeper - watch what they do, get used to handling the bees, sometimes people freak out when surrounded by 40,000 bees!
We joined the local Beekeepers Association and they took us under their wings, literally. We were given a hive and we helped to catch a swarm which became our starter colony. The hives lived in the garden, and we processed the honey in the kitchen. I still have jars of honey in the garage - and my bee suit and smoker. You never know when you'll need it!
