Though there are no written records from the Druids many of their beliefs - and the plants they considered sacred - have shaped our history and continue to influence us even today. We look at Oak, Yew, Holly, Ivy and Mistletoe and how beliefs about them, as well as their physical properties, have helped form our national identity even as the more pagan elements became replaced by Christian beliefs.
Views: 48 | Enquiries: 0I'm a beekeeper, all round bug enthusiast and writer and give talks on a range of subjects which share a common focus on the pollinators of the UK. My fully illustrated talks are designed to entertain as well as inform and are aimed at everyone with an interest in the natural world. I try to improve the awareness of some of the problems faced by our native pollinators and offer practical suggestions on what we can do to help them. I also work closely with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
As seen on BBC Countryfile! I presented a section on bees and pollinators on the Countryfile edition aired on April 21st.
I give talks to Wildlife and Conservation groups, Gardening Clubs, U3A and PROBUS groups, Resident Associations and Businesses and have received the following testimonials.
