Work in fencing off the corner of the field was shared by some of the WGAS groundsmen and volunteers from the US Air Force based just up the road at Alcolnbury. First a horse proof fence had to be constructed as we were using the bottom of a field that is used by a couple of the centre's horses.
Once the animal fence was in place, then an inner fence had to be constructed. On the west side this fence would be lined with willow to form a wind break.
On the other sides would be a net to force the bees up and over the public path, but still allow the public to see in the apiary and later to allow them to watch bee keepers at work with the bees.
