This is my dad Alan, he and my mum started my passion for Gardening and outdoor learning when I was young.
My dad worked in the Horticulture business for many, many years. He’s now retired, so he has all the time he needs to potter around his garden, instead of maintaining other peoples’ gardens.
Dad’s garden is amazing, he lives in Boston, England in the middle of the most amazing countryside. I think he should share his knowledge and garden with us all, so I am adding him to our Garden Classroom blog.
One of his lifetime ambitions is to have a beehive and this year he is finally making that dream come true.
The Base is Ready 
The Beehive 
Beekeeper Alan!
This is Rosie, my step mum. She has been encouraging my dad to set up beekeeping and has been busy growing a wildflower meadow for the bees to collect pollen.
Rosie is also passionate about their garden and providing wildlife which will enhance the bee’s environment.
My brother Jonathan bought Rosie a camera to go in her bird box for her birthday a few years ago.
This year a bird has already made themselves at home! We will follow the bird over the next year to see what they do.

Fascinating keeping bees and what breed is the bird?
