After suffering some winter losses in 2021/22 I decided to make some insulated covers for my beehives. They worked well last winter. This is how I made them.

Plenty of 'ghost bees' returning to the hives covered in Himalayan Balsam pollen.

Been a while since I gave an update on the bees...

I had a swarm arrive at my bait hive. They hung around for a while clustering on the box....I should have collected them while I had the chance because they eventually changed their mind and flew off. I was fortunate enough to get another swarm at a different swarm trap a week later. This time they went inside and stayed put.

I've fitted the studio with a solid wood door that has an oak veneer. It was a bigger job than it might have been as I had to chisel out the hinge recesses by hand and build the door frame as I went along.

Laying the laminate flooring in the cabin.

I had lots of offcuts left over from cladding the cabin so I decided to use them to make a potting bench. It has a plywood table top and an integrated soil or compost bin. The bags of compost can be stored underneath in the cupboard and there are shelves on each side to store plant pots.
