5.GET THE BUZZ
This good-looking oak
beehive was made
by Rune Furniture for
garden designer Adam
Frost. It is reminiscent
of traditional straw hives
called skeps and would
make a wonderful focal
point in your garden. If
you are interested in
keeping honeybees,
look up your local
branch of The British
Beekeepers Association
at bbka.org.uk.
6.BEE HOTEL
Charlotte Murrell
created her Wild in the
City garden for RHS
Hampton Court Palace
Flower Show to show
that even small plots can
include habitats for
wildlife, like this insect
box. Solitary species,
such as red mason and
leafcutter bees, will nest
in the sticks while other
insects will enjoy the roof.
Place close to nectar-rich
plants like buddleja.&
