Bees

Two of the hives are fed a mixture of 2 parts sugar to one part water. This will help the bees get through the winter.

Mouse guard. The hives are warm and full of food - a nice place for a mouse, not nice for the bees.

The last hive was turned around - they all face south now. These bees quickly found the entrance - amazing! In nature the tree doesn't move.
