Bumblebee farm day event

Dear all
 
On Monday we had our second bumblebee farm day event. This is a chance for local farmers to come along and ask any questions they may have about their agri-environment schemes (entry and higher level stewardship) and how these schemes can help bumblebees. Chris Strangeways very kindly hosted the event at Bosney farm, Iden, East Sussex, http://www.ryemarket.eclipse.co.uk/bosneyfarm/index.htm. It was a fantastic afternoon with many farmers coming along. We first started with some lunch and then moved onto talks by myself, Chris and Stephen Podd of FWAG. We then jumped onto trailers and drove round Chris's farm to show examples of what can be done for bumblebees. I was really pleased with the number of people who came along and many thanks to Chris for letting us host the event at Bosney farm.
