RHS Rosemoor Wild-bee workshop Saturday 30th August 2025.

Come and join me in these amazing gardens so that I can introduce you to some of the charming bumblebees and fascinating solitary bees that bring our gardens alive and pollinate our plants.We start with an illustrated talk where I share some of the secrets about our garden bees and their incredible and fascinating lives.

Bumblebees pollinate runnerbeans

If you grow runnerbeans you need bumblebees. It takes a big strong bee to force open the flowers and reach in to drink the nectar. As the bumblebee climbs into the flower, pollen is attracted to its hairy, fluffy body. Then as the bumblebee moves to the next flower it takes the pollen with it.
