There are lots of great things planned for 2024. I will be attending several events where you can join me to learn about garden bees (bumblebees & solitary bees) and other pollinators. I absolutely love sharing some of the fascinating stories about our pollinating friends, it would be wonderful if you could join me.
Yeo Valley Gardens Bee Safaris
This summer I will be at Yeo Valley Gardens doing my popular Bee Safaris and an illustrated talk about garden bees. Come and join me for coffee and a bee safari around the gorgeous organic gardens. The dates are still to be confirmed, but watch this space for more information or check the Yeo Valley Website for more details.
Bristol Bee & Pollination Festival
I will be taking my interactive nature table to the Bristol Botanic Garden Bee & Pollination Festival. It’s focused on our wild bees; bumblebees and solitary bees and includes some of our other essential pollinators too like butterflies and wasps and hornets. I’ll be taking garden bee safaris over the weekend and selling signed copies of my books. Watch this space for more information.
