2005 Summary
2005 was quite a mixed year for us. A cold wet start to the year saw
us loose our best hive.
A swarm that we had collected in 2004 turned out to be very very vicious.
Our aim for 2006 will be to tame these beasts.
Dad & John look at the agggressive hive:

Packed-up & ready to go to Flaxton

As to a final twist to the year we were very suprised to come second in
our local honey show, winning a special prize for our block of wax.
