Yes, MountainRose now has a beehive. It's tucked away from the vineyards, out of the path of two-legged critters -- but accessible to the four-legged kind.
Concord is poking around the back of the hive, and so avoids the potential of skittering away yelping from an annoyed bee who just wanted to get back home.
The "hive" is inside that small box. The "super" that contains the frames where the honey is collected will be added soon. Right now, the hive is getting itself established and moving pollen to the workers.
This hive is actually on "our" land, near sourwood and clover.
We have a few acres which share a point with the vineyard and David is growing some grapes and fruit--and now bees--on a bit of it.
It's all in the family, for seven generations. It feels right.
