BEES at Oakford Cottage.

                I am pleased to say that my bees survived the winter 2013/14 and multiplied somewhat with swarms occuring during April and May this year. I now have 5 colonies helping to increase the local bee population. They are also helping my addiction to honey. So we have plenty of delicious Derbyshire Honey for sale from our own hives and also from 2 hives from the Derbyshire Beekeepers Association. We keep their training hives here for training purposes to encourage newcomers to this wonderful and absorbing pastime.
