Boodarai's photos with the keyword: top bar beehive

The bees have started building their first comb in our top bar hive. Behind it are the cut frames that Norman put into it.

As suggested by Norman, our bee mentor, we have put a small bucket of sugar syrup (in a dish of water) beside the hive, to help the settle in.

In position and occupied at last. Ad & Maxime fenced off a corner of the home paddock, levelled the ground, pinned onto that weed mat, put concrete tiles down for the legs to stand on (less chance of parasites entering the hive), and put an electric fence around it all to keep the cows off it. It gets sun for almost the entire day. This shot is in the evening.
