Busy Bee's


11 January 2010 - an “in house” workshop everyone painting a beehive plaque together as a group.

This was a fun “communal” workshop which only took a morning to paint, we just sat round in our usual “u” shape chatting and checking with each other what and how to do each stage of this cute little project. It was fun to paint and talk through each stage and how we were going to do it, interspersed with what we all got for Christmas and how the festivities went.
