I live in the beautiful Honddu valley to the South of the Epynt ranges between Builth Wells and Brecon. I have up to 10 hives at home which are a mix of standard National hives, 14 x 12 National hives, a couple of wood Dartington Long Deep hives and a Top Bar Hive. They share their space with rescue hens (at the moment 9) who are kept safe by an electric fence due to foxes and otters in the valley.
