This journal will hopefully detail the minutiae of my beekeeping tasks, my observations and my natural beekeeping methods using Top Bar Hives, both horizontal and vertical, using no chemicals whatsoever. My beekeeping is mainly in Sweden but I also have bees in Spain.

I was thinking of building some bait hives just to see if I can get one here in the middle of suburbia. Lots of bees around last year so I assume there must be hives somewhere "close".
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering where you'll be placing the hives? I had assumed up high in a tree maybe but that looks more like it would go on on or near the ground?
I'll be placing my bait hives in a few different locations. Some on the ground and some on top of walls. They say that bait hives should be high up but I have baited quite a few on the ground too.
ReplyDeleteLow or high, doens't matter now that we can use lures. Pre-lure days was when you needed to put it at 8-12' high.
