BEES KNEES

Our NCFE Level 2 course is now done and dusted. And, yes, I passed.

So anything that comes next is just me having fun with my camera – which was pretty much the whole point of doing the course in the first place. Job done.

Just in time for the heatwave, we’ve had the garden revamped. We wanted butterfly and bee friendly plants – you’ve got to do your bit, peeps – and it turns out our garden is now an irresistible smorgasbord of delights for them. I sat out at the weekend, camera on a tripod, remote release in hand, and fired off hundreds of shots of bees up to their knees in pollen.

Here are a few of my fave shots. The flower is Echinacea – and bees love it.
