 Club Apiary 2005

This is the site of the Ayr and District Beekeepers Association Apiary at Monkwood Mains Farm in Minishant.

This is how it started in 2005.  By the end of the year it is hoped to have 7 or 8 hives on the site.

One of the seven hives at the end of September ready for the winter.

It has a double brood box with an extra box to protect the feeder.  It has also got a mouse guard fitted to protect the stores and is weighted down ready for the strong winds.

This is the view of the apiary at the beginning of March 2007. It is fenced off, the hives protected by the trees and the hut erected.

The new hut, awaiting painting, complete with steps and window.

The next step is to kit out the inside.
