beehive yourself!

Welcome to Beehive Yourself – we are big into honeybees!

We have started this channel showcase both the work of Beehive Yourself but also some of our interest, particularly on topics relating to beekeeping history.

We have two apiaries: one on the Berkshire Downs and the other in the market town of Wantage, in southern Oxfordshire, England.  

The Wantage apiary is situated in a suburban garden, a few streets away from Wantage Hospital and the garden centre.  Here, bees benefit from the flora of the gardens and public spaces, as well as the surrounding arable fields.

The Downland apiary is situated on piece of land which is semi-woodland. Here, bees benefit from the agricultural crops, with oil-seed-rape and field bean being the most common.  Beside crops, there are plenty of other flowers for the bees to forage, particularly trees, thistles, brambles and ivy.
