underwent a refurbishment<\/a>. The hives were soon moved into their new home, being hoisted into position atop the flattened roof of the building.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/manchesterbe.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/St-Peters-Hives.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” sticky=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” border_style=”solid” use_overlay=”off” _builder_version=”3.0.60″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” gutter_width=”3″ padding_mobile=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” border_style=”solid” _builder_version=”3.0.60″]<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been an eventful few months for Gary and his team. During the first week of March it was discovered that one of the hives had perished, probably due to cold. Then in May, both of the remaining hives swarmed. While one swarm was found on nearby Burlington Street, the other has not been located.<\/p>\n
Along with Gary, a small team are involved in the upkeep of the hives, with John Peel of Manchester Art Gallery acting as a mentor. While the plan is for the bees and hives to be returned to gallery next year, the chaplaincy is planning on starting a new colony in the empty hive. They\u2019re also planning on recruiting a small number of student volunteers, who will form part of an expanded team looking after the bees.<\/p>\n
