Bringing back into use an apiary site established by Brother Adam of Buckfast Abbey circa 1970.
This apiary was still in use when I worked for the Abbey in 2005-6 and at that time had 20 Modified Dadant hives on site. We have installed four top bar hives and a ZEST hive so far, and will probably have no more than 10-12 active hives in use at any time, so as to reduce the pressure on other local bee species.
