Are you interested in having a bee hive in your back yard?

This is a free offer from us to you, it will help boost bee numbers in our community. The bees pollinate fruit and veges, they provide honey and also hours of enjoyment watching them come and go.

We will take care of the bees, the legal requirements and everything else.   If you or anyone you know could be interested contact me on 0276233139 or lavenderfarmbees@gmail.com.
