They live in a modified Dadant hive . This is the most common hive here in France, think National or Langstroth size . However this one has been “improved” Double thick walls -5 cm Smaller natural size entrance- 30mm, Roof - Warré style quilt , Volume about 55Litre Weight far too much :-) They have been sited in a roof top space bit like a bee bole 2m plus high  .

Nope I dont do inspections nor treat nor am I after honey . I am after polinisation and swarms :-)

I am very much  influenced by the work of Professor Seeley
