So, now we have the new plot things are really getting busy down the plots. For one, we are going to be making a top bar bee hive. Very exciting.
We have been in contact with a guy that we are going to get a swarm from (Its going to cost us £60 but it will pay for itself in the end). We have an area where we are going to put it so the bee's don't annoy anyone else on the site.
We can not see anyone being against us in this as the presence of the bees will help everyone with populating everything.
What we hope to do is to keep a percentage of the honey ourselves, but sell the rest to other allotment holders and that money will go towards either new equipment for the whole place, or even get a portaloo, maybe even a shed with a small cafe/shop in it.
