We've just bought three modified dadant hives...the commercial ones, I think! One is going in our veggie patch, and the other two will be going in the field, and around them we're going to have a wildflower meadow effect. OH has bought some very nice cedar to make a couple of replacement floors and new supers. We've been told to get all new frames, so our project over winter will probably be cleaning the hives out and assembling the frames...as well as getting onto the local courses! Very exciting stuff!
