I was approached by Rob the manager of Dorothy Parkes Centre in Smethwick asking if I could run a class about Beekeeping on 2nd Sept for their Nature Buddies students and parents.

I agreed to help out as it was for a good cause. Many thanks to Sam who helped me immensely with honey bee paraphernalia, a virtual hive and other bits and pieces which all came in handy.

The children liked the Bee toys immensely which they could touch and play with.

Finally, everyone thoroughly enjoyed and commended the taste of my honey being way better tasting than any shop bought honey.

Rob contacted me today and commented how well received my class was by all and they would like me to host more classes in the coming weeks. Some local schools have since got in touch with Rob to attend the Beekeeping classes in Sept and Oct.

It seems in the coming weeks and months I’ll be kept busy!
