Thanks a lot to everyone who came along to our bee hotel workshop, and everyone who donated materials - you all helped make the workshop a great success!
Despite the cold, wet, grey weather we had a total of 13 attendees, including five children, and everyone had fun selecting just the right bits and pieces and assembling them in just the right order to make a total of eight differently sized and shaped bee hotels - including one for the Food Gardens, that is now set up beside the shed, so be sure to check it out next time you're gardening!
