​
This year I have been working with bee expert and publisher, Valerie Rhenius, on an exciting project creating a children's book about a honey bee's adventures across the countryside in search of food - a special book with beautiful illustrations individually hand-painted in watercolour, in celebration of the National Honey Shows' centenary this year, launched October 2023.
​
If you would like to follow us as we navigate our way through the creation of our new book, pop over to Saffron Wildlife Studio for behind-the-scenes updates, information, observations and inspirations - and come say hi on social media:

'As do many, many honey bees across the country and the world, Izzie flies over a three or four mile radius from her hive in search of nectar, pollen and water.
​
Her continual, tireless foraging not only builds up a healthy hive with stores of honey to share with you, as she dusts the plants she visits with pollen, she increases crops of flowers, fruit and vegetables worldwide.
​
This book is dedicated to all the honey bees, the miles travelled and plants pollinated in bringing you the teaspoonful of honey for your breakfast toast.' Valerie Rhenius.
