THE ROSE HIVE METHOD BY TIM ROWE

I really do recommend this book. The principles and ideas are a must for every bee keeper, even if you don’t follow the method and use the hive. I will admit I bought a Rose Hive and tried to use it as a Warre substitute (and something strange happened to the bees – but that’s another story). Now having read the book and the method, I hope to try it properly this year.
I moved more hives today to equalise my numbers better at my main sites; at their new site the bees did peek out the entrance as I removed the block but obviously thought better than to fly in the cold temperatures outside!
