Maintaining Wooden Beehives in the Orchard
A knight stands ready with a toolbox near a traditional wooden beehive situated among fruit trees. Maintaining hives ensured that bees remained healthy and continued pollinating blossoms across the castle orchard.
Beekeeping and Honey Production in Castle Gardens
Medieval castles maintained apiaries because honey was the primary sweetener before cane sugar became widely available. Beeswax was equally important for crafting high-quality candles used in castle halls and chapels. Wooden skeps and timber box hives were placed near blooming orchards to encourage cross-pollination.
