We are very new to bee keeping, this “beeing” our first year…sorry couldnt help ourselves.
We live on bowen island, in British Columbia canada, the average temp here is about 30c in the summer and about 7c in the the winter however inland can go to as low as -5c over the winter months. We are avid gardeners who opted for the flow hive less for honey production and more for pollinators with a obvious side benefit of honey. We have 1 acre of land that is split between vegetables and garden space as well as a greenhouse that we keep our tropicals and succulents in.
