ReplyDeleteIt was a great experience, seeing the bee hives opened by the beekeepers and getting all the gen. We all got kitted out in bee-proof gear and masks, and no-one got stung! First time I had seen a Queen honey-bee. Thanks for sorting it for us Charlotte, you're a Queen organiser !
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed it, Steve! They are absolutely fascinating creatures - I love learning about them!
