Moving bees from the demo hive to a new home - lots of thyme, apples and fruit trees here - it should be a great new place for them. #bees #biodiversity #forage

This guide tells you everything you need to know about planting for bees, birds and and mammals . Emphasizing native plants eg. dandelion, it gives lots of pollen and nectar friendly options

One of the worker bees out checking my wellies between the showers today. The bees were really active in between some very heavy rain. Pollen packed into the pollen basket on her hind legs.

Flowers for Mother’s Day? Way too predictable!

Flowers
❌ need looking after

❌will die in a few days

❌probably grown abroad in heated greenhouses

Honey

✅ requires no care
✅ tastes amazing
✅ locally produced
✅ unique- will definitely win you “best child award”
