    There is a nice picture of a bee house and article in the latest edition of IBRA. I think the bee house was located in Fife

    I imagine that smoke inhalation may be a big problem.

    I must try to look at that - but what does IBRA stand for?

    Came across this picture in a copy of the Northern Beekeepers Handbook, Inverness Association, circa 1950's. Apparently this chap kept a couple of houses, and I have other pictures. Life was so different then - the yields of honey that are reported are out of my league.

    My house is looking a lot like that though bigger windows and no wheels.

    Bee house in a woodland estate just outside Belfast... They have the original plans but aren't exactly sure how it was intended to operate (think I was build around 1850)

    It looks more decorative than useful. Love the narcissus.
