    Hunting for Thieves

    We've had a few bee frames pilfered by some light fingered riff-raff recently so every bee site now has a camera. After losing 80 hives 3 years ago we can't afford to have that happen again - we caught him on camera eventually but it meant lots of sleepless nights wondering when it would happen again. Anyhow we also capture some amazing wildlife that you would never see when we are at the bee sites. Enjoy.

    I love watching quail, they're such characters especially when the young are at the "bumble bee" stage
