I've just got round to blogging again after a busy couple of weeks out and about. These pics are from our trip to the Whistlestop Centre at Matlock Bath - part of the Wildlife Trusts. We had the rare opportunity to see inside a bee hive and learn about bees in depth from a beekeeper.
Robert testing out a beekeepers hat - very itchy apparently.

Robert made a bee life-cycle wheel, identified which differently coloured pollen came from which plant, played a game, tasted different honey from around the world and made this beeswax candle.

Hi, I've been exploring the webring for ed otherwise, and just thought I'd say yours is one of the nicest I've seen!
That looked like a lovely day out and very productive too!
Happy Birthday to your son, this is December 1st! I have just noticed he is 7 years and 0 months old. Seven, so much more grown up than six.
