We are a group of micro farmers who welcome anyone who keeps animals or grows vegetables and fruit, or loves cooking! Who would like to come along to our meetings or events and share their experiences with others. You don't need to have lots of animals to be a "smallholder." Many people who grow vegetables, have some bees or maybe a couple of backyard chickens come along and enjoy the meetings and events as well.

Beekeeper - Glenn Mayes from Ulting - checking the hives summer 20010
 |
| checking the hive for disease, brood, honey |
 |
| two hives - one on left is called Buckingham Palace, the one on the right is called Wonderland. we had loads of problems last year with Buckingham Palace - there's a surprise! |
 |
| honey - dark "bits" are pollen |
 |
| Lovely honey on a good laden frame |
 |
| Honey Extracting |
 |
| putting frames into the honey extractor |
 |
| frame of honey - the dark "bits" are pollen |
 |
| two hives made by Thomas Bickerdike there is also a homemade nuc which is housing a small swarm following intruders knocking over one of the hives and splitting it. |
 |
| the homemade nuc - we use a glass chicken water feeder to provide fresh water for the bees all through the season. so that the bees can take water easily, stones are put into the lip so that they don't drown. dead bees don't produce honey! |
