Long shot, maybe, but any chance 'burgonia' could refer to 'bergenia' - a
pink flowered perennial much loved by bees?
In beekeeping terms, a hackle refers to a straw cover put over a skep hive to
protect it from the weather.
Best wishes to all,

Hi Roy
I think a hackle refers to a feather - prehaps in place of a brush? Dont
know what a burgonia is, not referring to the plant begonia is it?

Hi. There,
Can someone out there with a beekeepers encyclopedia please answer these
questions?
1. What is a hackle?
2. What does burgonia mean?
These are questions from the section 4 in the Course In a Case. (History
questions)
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Roy.
