Win the perfect urban beehive – worth £465!
If you've always wanted to keep bees but live in the city, here's the perfect solution. The Beehaus, made by Omlet and featured in the latest issue of V Magazine, is a contemporary beehive for the urban beekeeper. It allows anyone – from amateurs to seasoned apiarists – to help bees find a home in city gardens, and even on rooftops, up and down the country.
The strikingly designed hive was developed with the help of leading beekeepers as a 21st-century home for bees, and has urban spaces very much in mind. One metre wide and half a metre high, Beehaus has twice the room of a traditional hive, and, with plenty of space for the colony to grow, the likelihood of bees swarming is greatly reduced. Bees will travel up to three miles to collect nectar, so even the most unpromising garden can still support viable colonies that produce their own honey.
With proper care and access to local sources of nectar, it's quite possible to collect over 20kg of honey from a Beehaus in a good year.
