June 2009 : Dan The Gardener Newsletter
Dan The Gardener On the Site

Welcome to Dan The Gardeners June Newsletter.

This month we are focusing on Bees and Honey. Queenie our Bumble Bee will be telling you about the ideal Honey Bee Garden plus lots more. There will be several pages on Bees so make sure you have a good look around the website including why Honey Bees are dying.

The British Science Association has very kindly given us a direct link to their "Save Our Bees Campaign" information and activity pack for you to download too!

We have been very busy building our new online shop here which will be ready very soon, so watch out for an email letting you know when it is ready as there will be lots of interesting products for you to have a look at.

Remember if you would like us to write about a special subject please let us know. Also if you have any pictures of your gardens or allotments please send them in.

We have new members joining every day ranging from aged 2 to 75 from Lands End to Mexico, children, parents, teachers and grandparents. So if you are not a member yet please join up here for free.
