Hi all
The following was written in 1950, when I was 10 months old ...

... Within a radius of 10 km. (6 miles) there are no
colonies of bees from which drones could fly out over the open,
wind-swept moors to our mating apiary. Also, Dartmoor offers
the striking advantages of being almost uninhabited and of having
no trees whatsoever, and the climate on the moors is so rough
that no swarm can survive. It is there that we set up our
mating apiary twenty-six years ago -- then the only one in England.
