@frdvil It looks fabulous Fred, I can't believe I missed this on Twitter so thanks for posting a link in your SOS. Water lilies and pond plants next - what a great feature it will be.
Attention Beekeepers.The northern hemisphere might experience Artic temperatures in the coming weeks that are colder than normal
Insure that food stores are directly on the Brood. A couple of frames back and they can starve. The bee's can't leave the cluster to get nourishment.
Today is #TimeToTalk day. A small conversation about mental health can make a big difference, so why not get outside in nature to have these very imporant conversations? Being outside has been proven to buoy mood and mental health.
Please note the gardens will remain closed until Monday due to the ongoing flooding issues. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. 🙂🙏
