So a week ago I moved the ladies from the bee stand where the rest of the beekeepers have their hives to my aunt & uncles land. There was a beekeeper before hence the little stall my uncle build a few years ago but he got ill and had to quit bees unfortunately. I thought it was nice to share a couple of photos of the surroundings and I hope the ladies like it here
hopefully I'll add a 2nd hive soon making a split from the one that's there now. Unfortunately I don't know all the English names for the flora but probably most of you do
The bee stand with some small willows along the field.
Turn 90 degrees left, there's about 60 willows along this path. Also the brown stuff are old wild flowers which my uncle seeds every year end of April ish, depends on the weather and temps.
Far out in the field there's a massive patch of wild flowers he seeds as well, approx 200 by 400 metres. It's still brown now but they're on vacation and he'll plow and seed it when they come back.

Left rear of the stall there is this row of willows, about 15 of them and they are a bit older and larger then the first ones I showed.
There's a number of bushes which carry these flowers, I have no idea what they are but the bees absolutely love it
If that's not all there are also these 4 (or are there 5?) pretty big Acacia (that's the Dutch name at least) trees and as far as I know the honey from those is delicious
All in all I'm really happy with my new location and I hope the bees are as well
