Title: Wall mounted bee hive
Post by: cambourne7 on November 28, 2011, 16:22:29
Hi

spotted this

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2067171/Will-home-owners-swarm-idea-Get-freshest-honey-wall-mounted-urban-bee-hive.html

Would have loved something like this on my lotty to keep the bees happy but we built them a bug hotel instead.

But in the city i can see the value :)

Hmm..I saw that earlier on..and I left very grumpy comment about it too.
Yes..it does look very interesting but practically inpossible to 'keep' bees in them permanently.
There is more faults in the design than good points...sorry..
If you are interested keeping bees..traditional hive design is still much more practical and top it up with beekeeping course and you are well away with good bee welfare and maybe some honey too as extra reward.. ;)
