Bortevoy honey

I do not know if you heard about it, but you should try it.
Honey bees, usually honey of wild bees. The truth is now setting the fence and on private apiaries.
Fight this beehive in a natural or hollowed hollow tree. Modern board is collected from the boards and only then they are raised on a tree. The battle is very hard because one person can not cope.
Some craftsmen make a battle from old stumps. First, the deck (board) was installed vertically, eventually they began to lay down at an angle, for ease of maintenance. The size of the deck must have an internal volume of 200-300 liters. So that bees can accumulate enough honey and then eat it all winter and not starve to death. Honey is best collected in the spring. The overwintered honey is worn by the present and ripe. If you harvest honey in the fall, in the first it is still ready, and in the second bees for the winter there is nothing to eat and they can die.
The modern deck has a wall thickness of at least 70 millimeters, so that it is possible to protect the bees from winter frosts. Inside, the deck resembles a pipe.
