There are a few bee keepers in the area and Shillingstone Honey can be bought locally. I photographed this rather damp specimen, sheltering from a shower in one of my Pelargoniums. Shillingstone is blessed with a great many cottage-style gardens, which attract not only the local bees, but a large variety of butterflies and moths.
