Orchard Activity: Bee Walk
Spring is in full swing here in the beautiful orchards of the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale Farm, so we’re going on a bee hunt. The only question is, will your kids ‘bee’ coming along to join us?
Brogdale Collections, Brogdale Farm House, Brogdale Road, Faversham, Kent ME13 8XZ, UK
Why not encourage the kids to take advantage of the sights, sounds and smells of this time of year by taking a walk with us through the blossom? We’ll be exploring to see what bees we can find busy visiting our fruit blossom and pollinating the flowers to make our delicious fruit.
Once you have found some bees and looked at where they are happiest, why not take some time to visit our exhibition which is all about bees. You can see what it feels like to be a bee, perhaps make your own bee or look inside a hive and find where the honey is made.
Then finish your ‘beetiful’ day by having a go at creating your own pollinator-friendly mini wildflower patch to take back to your green space and share the joys of bee watching with your family. Who knows, maybe you’ll spot some of the same bees visiting your mini garden as you saw in our orchards.
