Keeping Bees – designing hives

beehive designSeptember 2012As a result of our growing understanding of bee keeping we decide to try and construct our own Top Bar Beehive .  After successfully completing this it is still awaiting its final destination, for now it is stored in David Wright’s garage.  We soon look at the further potential of making our very own Smith bee hives. These are hives particularly specific to Scotland. Vic Macrae a participant and a graphic designer, initially draws up some 3D plans for our newly designed hives based on the groups design ideas. Although the hive needs to be a standard size and shape we get Vic to use her creative skills and design a bespoke roof for the hive.
