We used to have a hive on the vineyard, about feb/march when there was no flowers or nectar about they'd start feeding on the spoilt grapes. We'd put the separator in and get a totally different shiraz flavoured honey.
For now I'll have to settle for the native bee's at home. I've got Leaf cutters at the moment. They take small discs from leaves line a hole, in my case bamboo stakes, lay eggs and seal them over.
Cool little critter.

Hard to describe in text, but it makes home bee keeping a bit easier.
I'm really interested in how it ends up tasting. The garden I look after is full of roses, lavender, salvia, daisy's and a plot planted up with cornflowers especially for the bees. Was there again today, the smell of hoeny wafting through the garden was amazing.
