Twelve months ago, Farming Today took possession of its own beehive. The aim was to keep the colony of honeybees alive for a year and to examine the problems facing beekeepers and honeybees close up. Now the year is at an end, Charlotte Smith looks back at the trials and tribulations of the programme's beekeepers and makes one final visit to see Aunty, the Queen bee, at the apiary in Warwickshire.
