Keeping bees

I spotted this en route to school, along the river bank. Its (according to an old chap I got chatting to on the way home when I stopped to blip), part of a nature reserve but only accessed from Railword. Considering I have cycled past this spot forever, I was surprised I had not noticed them before. I was reliably informed that there had been a lot of tree and shrub pruning and the hives were quite new. Still a great find!
