Just a cow, doing his thing on some nice fresh grass. When we took on the croft the land hadn't been worked in a generation & with last year's drought Steve was very worried he'd do more harm than good. Seems like he didn't need to worry.

Steph (I watched from very far away) managed to split the colony into two, meaning both out hives are now filling up with bees.

Folk often talk about farming in line with nature. But how do you do that in one of the most nature depleted countries in the world?
