Thanks to my "bee friend" Wayan, who divided a colony in two, we finally have 3 hives with bees (Apis Cerana) in October 2017. The bees look healthy, all colonies are large and the honey combs are filled and hopefully provide enough food for the upcoming raining season.

In October there is normally very hot weather, so this year 2017 too. The garden is dry, but still we don't water too much. Saving water and let the plants feel the normal change during the year with a dry season. Some plants like our orchids like this time very much: they are in full bloom.
