"How does looking at 170,000 pieces humming, glowing aluminium grab you?" I asked...
" Er ...okay...." said the rest of the family....
So off we went to see The Hive at Kew. There is no missing it...
It is surrounded by a bee friendly meadow so it rises up between the gaps in the trees and peeks at you from all different directions...
Underneath it you can connect to the vibrations through the wonder of a wooden coffee stirrer, well its one way to give a human a proboscis!
and inside the main structure you can feel the vibrations through your feet ( just like a real bee!) as it hums all around you...
It really does pulse and hum with the activity of the hive it is connected to...
At first I was a bit blue that it wasn't the sunniest day but somehow the dramatic sky made it even more interesting...
It was a terrific day out and great experience for a very happy beekeeper...
I'm just wondering if I can get back there again and see it at sundown...when the lights would really be glowing!!
