Willow fencing is complete. Animal fence is tested and the netting is all in place.
Hives 1 and 2 are moved into place in the evening. One of the nice things about the Apimaye hives are that they are so easy to move. Just turn the catch, remove the door cover, close the door and turn the catch. It takes longer to describe than to do it. All the hive parts are locked together, so just pick it up by the handles and put it in the back of the car and drive. The frames are kept apart by the built in Hoffman spacers and there are castelated spacers on the frame runners and lower supports built in for migatory bee keeping. Moving in couldn't have been easier. As soon as the bees were on site, the doors were opened and the door guards replaced.
