I would like to go to see how their bee's and try their honey to help combat my hayfever. I hear if you eat honey from local bee's then it helps reduce the effects due to the bee's using the same pollen that brings on hayfever attacks.

What a wonderful location, the bees can shelter from the rain or sudden temperature drops. We cannot survive without the bees and with everyones' help, no matter where we live, we can all offer some shelter!!!

This is such a great thing to be happening in the center of London. It would be great to see and pick up ideas on how I could start to be a little more self-sustaining
