The original limestone gate stoops are too narrow for a modern day tractor to pass through into the hay meadow so they decided the site for the small teaching apiary and form the entrance.

Fence posts are put into place around the apiary.

The teaching apiary faces south out across the hay meadow and is sheltered from the prevailing wind but not the snow we have had during the last couple of winters. We use various hives so new beekeepers can decide what they want to choose for their bees.
