Having decided that spring had finally sprung, Paddy Wallace zipped himself into his protective suit, grabbed his veil and headed off in his tractor round the country lanes of North Devon.
Wallace is the second-generation owner of Quince Honey Farm in South Molton, one of the biggest bee farms in Britain, and his mission was to assess the winter’s depredations. He has 1,500 hives spread around his neighbours’ fields in one of the most glorious symbiotic relationships in agriculture: he borrows a sliver of their land, and his bees pollinate their crops.
