I made this book for my husband. Beekeeping and extracting honey has been part of our lives together. This book brings together artwork and written memories of beekeeping over the years. This is an extract from the book

Glyme Lane Apiary

The perfect apiary – at last.
Walled, fenced and sheltered,
With a shed for storage and microscope,
A new gate, which opens,
Just near a track.

New cedar hives on their stands,
Made to measure,
On a bee friendly farm.
Sainfoin, no sprays,
Solar wax extractor and
Plans to breed varroa free bees.

Always hope and the future –
Five hives flying on a warm winter day
With the summer to come.
