I’m starting a new colony of Italian bees this year, and my plan is to create a beautiful beehive for them like the ones on the roof of Fortnum & Mason in London.
Avid beekeeper and woodcrafter extraordinaire Ryan Ferreri is making the facade for my hive. This week he’s made a lot of progress. Here are some pictures.
Meanwhile, I’m busy priming and painting my wooden ware a beautiful shade of eau de nil. My hive has a cottage garden outer cover, so it will look more like the Fortnum hives.
More updates as work progresses!
I’ll look forward to the updates as the facade is gorgeous… you must be SO excited!
I’m glad you like the facade! I am excited!!
