This document catalogues the various stages of research, documentation and study that has lead to the completion of the live project 'Apiary in the Woods' from September to November 2016 and the finalisation of a design proposal at the JG Graves Discovery Centre, Ecclessal Woods, Sheffield. This design proposal would serve as a cornerstone to facilitate fundraising for the successful realisation of the project. The Ecclesall Woods Sawmill, operated by Sheffield City Council since 2006, aims to promote local craft and the innovative use of timber in construction whilst educating a new generation about traditional practices. The Sawmill has had a close relationship with the SSOA Live Projects during this time and the site has developed in conjunction with Sheffield Beekeepers' Association (SBKA) and Sheffield City Council. The site now offers numerous opportunities for public engagement including craft courses, rentable classrooms, and most recently the J.G. Graves Woodland Discovery Centre, which has provided a new usable public space for the SBKA such as members training and public event of introduction of microscopy. -WORKS-JUPITER & MARS
