This my first post and welcome to Nascot Wood bees. I took up bee keeping after my ability to take long afternoon walks became more difficult due to a\u00a0gammy\u00a0hip. I became hooked after taking a short beginners course and having the\u00a0opportunity\u00a0to look in a hive. Now three years on and still learning my passion is still there. Can’t go any where without spotting bees.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I’m off to Hampton Court flower show. The theme bees in the edible garden. I will be assisting the public in answering questions on bee keeping foraging habits and the names of the garden\u00a0vegetables\u00a0and flowers. This came about via the British Bee Keeping Association who asked for\u00a0volunteers\u00a0to help on the stand. I was lucky enough to be chosen. Great I thought until I got the brief attached with all the plant names carefully labelled mostly in Latin. Shame I can’t take my daughter who did\u00a0Latin\u00a0at school. Any way the bee suit is packed ready for an exciting day. There will be an\u00a0opportunity\u00a0to be part of live hive\u00a0demonstrations\u00a0and talk bees for hours. Bee\u00a0heaven!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
