| The site at 8.15am |
On Sunday we manned the stand for our local beekeeping club, Boston. It was a CBeebies day.
We arrived at 8.15am to a fairly calm and organised site nearing completion for the one day event in Kings Lynn. Amy was running the show and seemed relieved that we had arrived, but she was very organised and soon sorted everything we needed.

| All our kit |
All The kit was offloaded near our allocated area, opposite the newts and beside the slugs and snails, don't ask, I didn't.

| Candle rolling |
My wife Dawn was in charge of candle rolling and I was to look after the
observation hive and honey tasting
Set up was straightforward and by 10am when the first batch of 500 children with their parents were let in, we were ready, or at least I thought we were. By 11am they were three deep around the stand and I was beginning to feel a little shell shocked, at 4pm we ran out of everything, by 5pm when it finished my brain had melted.
I didn't know that many children existed and they kept coming, thousands of them. We actually managed lunch at 5.15pm,
But it was a great day and a fantastic way to get children involved.
