Learnt a lot about how to say your lines in between the sounds of overhead aircraft and random chainsaws whilst trying not to hit the microphone and manage to talk inside my bee suit!
Needless to say we made it through scorching sun from early morning to late evening with only one of us getting stung ( my lovely trainer Richard Wilson who was so matter of fact about the incident none of us realised)!
I lifted my first frame out of the hives and saw my very first queen bee which was amazing!

Despite my respect for the joiners, who worked flat out, we realised the next day that we weren't home and dry. The proportions of the top section were completely wrong and after a day of agonising, I finally made the bold decision to saw a bit of the top section off!
I'm so glad I did as I immediately knew that we were doing the right thing and people arrived, just as we finished, to praise the building.
In the meantime we had a photo shoot for the Telegraph. The photographer was very professional and set up some great artistic shots of me and the garden, which hopefully will appear in the paper next Saturday.
Chris, the blacksmith, spent the rest of the day fire fighting problems with the apiary (see photo) and at last, we set off in an open top jeep back to Cumbria, with the apiary roof behind us. Back to those we love and had left behind, eventually arriving home at 2am!
Setting off at dawn tomorrow for the final long week of preparing the show garden!
