David Beckham’s Iconic Bee Garden

After watching the Beckham documentary on Netflix, I was swooning over David Beckham’s cleanliness (who wasn’t), but I was also swooning over his incredible bee garden at his Cotswolds countryside property - is there anything this guy can’t do?!
I thought I would take a little look at the set up David Beckham has with his bee hives because he seems to be meticulous at everything and the honey (AKA DB’s Sticky Stuff) looked amazing.
From the behind the scenes footage in the documentary it seems that he has a set up of 9 flow hives positioned a few metres away from each other on a raised platforms. Wildflowers are growing on the ground in between them all providing pollen and nectar for the bees. Very professional!
