‘live and work’ rural from the peak park visited our workshop today and offered it’s support to peak-hives. it looks like there’ll be two main ways that assistance may be offered to support the business. firstly and most importantly for peak-hives is locating sources of locally grown timber. seems like local sawmills cutting local timber are as rare as hens teeth! however, with the inside knowledge of the peak park it’s likely that national beehives constructed from locally sourced western red cedar isn’t such a pipe dream after all. secondly there’s the ‘environmental quality mark’ which is a certification or award given to eco-friendly businesses. all in all it was a very interesting visit. more later.
