Wee Beasties marquee
There is set to be a hive of activity in the GWCT’s Wee Beasties marquee during the Fair. We are inviting visitors to learn all about honeybees and pollination. Experienced beekeepers will be on hand to answer questions and we’ll have a live observation hive where you can spot the queen bee. Observe how to make a skep and possibly have a go yourself; children can also make their own beeswax candle. Wildlife sculptor Julian Jardine, and the Royal Highland Education Trust will also be running a variety of free workshops for children including clay model-making and having a go at pressing their own oil. You’ll also find the GWCT shop with its ever- popular range of Christmas cards, ties and toys on sale.
