My father was a beekeeper(despite being terribly allergic).The sound they make when you press your ear to the hive is one of my favourite sounds eva.

We are still in the stage of negotiating with suppliers as well as getting our own lines of produce up and running. We are going to operate the shop out of one of the wings of the 'stable' block. We have a posting coming soon about our inspiration for the shop and the type of plans we have in mind...<br />If you have any suggestions for things that you would like to see available in the shop, or other suggestions, we would love to hear from you.<br /><br />David.Lord Cowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022567039394790375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2939913243601569607.post-68775991535602730692009-10-15T19:02:34.686+13:002009-10-15T19:02:34.686+13:00Interesting posts, I agree, those skeps are very d...Interesting posts, I agree, those skeps are very decorative.<br />You mentioned your park store...is this up and running and if so where is it located?
