Project Objective: Six hive expansion. Two new sites. Creating bee loving habitats. Producing fantastic local honey on a small scale.

PETERBOROUGH, CAMBRIDGESHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM, June 26, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- We have found that we can never meet the demand for our locally produced honey and have been offered to stock it in local shops. With this funding we aim to increase production and hopefully get to a stage where we can meet the local demand for our product.
The main aim of this project is to expand our apiaries and create two new sites. Whilst creating a bee friendly habitat around the hives by planting varieties of plants that flower during the winter months. Ensuring an all year round supply of nectar for our bees.
The purpose of this is to spread our honey production out in order to produce increased yields of honey to sell locally. In turn it will increase the variety of honey we can produce as separate sites mean different varieties of nectar. It will also provide protection for our bees from diseases, as we can separate operations across various sites. So far on our apiary in Glatton, Near Peterborough we have six hives, with this project we are looking at expanding by a further four colonies.
Our aim would be to put three new hives at each of the two new sites, two of which would have a colony of bees and the other would be spare in case a colony could be split. This would give us a great basis for further expansion of each site in the coming years.
