He's going to return in the spring with half a dozen hives to install in this spot on the edge of the lawn. It'll be a short flight to a stand of manuka trees, the row of rosemary down our drive and (most importantly) our fledgling orchard.
It'll be lovely to have them buzzing around and to get a few jars of honey but it's the pollination that I'm most looking forward to. Members of our gardening club have reported real improvements in their gardens after getting bees.
