In a quiet corner of the Walled Garden at the National Botanic Garden there is a ‘hive’ of activity.
Bee Keeper Chris Adam has developed this quiet corner into a colourful world for the bees where the spring sunshine has encouraged the bees to explore the beautiful display of flowers in the walled garden.
In the Courtyard Gallery visitors will find an intriguing display of images connected to the world of bees. From giant size images of pollen grains, honey comb and ceramic sculpture to floral meadow paintings and botanical illustrations all give the visitor much to enjoy and learn about the world of the bee in keeping us and our planet healthy.
