This year we were lucky as the weather was warm with only the odd shower. Visitor numbers in the Bees and Honey marquee were high with the public engaging with our many displays and attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the entrance we had the main <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#800000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Honey Competition display<\/mark><\/strong> with competition classes catering for all ages and skill levels, from novices and school children to skilled honey producers, bees wax modelling and honey cake baking.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"777\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/HS25-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11341\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving round the marquee, the <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#800000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">&#8216;Taste of Honey&#8217;<\/mark><\/strong> team were doing a roaring trade with their selection of local honey samples for visitors to taste.

Visitors could see all the comings and goings of the bees as if they were in there with them. The queen bee could easily be picked out, and the behaviour of the workers towards the queen, cleaning and feeding her, was very noticeable. Young children especially were fascinated to see the foraging bees do their waggle dance, telling other workers where to find flowers with lots of nectar.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/HS25-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11337\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also on the video stand was the Children&#8217;s Art display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#800000\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>observation hive<\/strong><\/mark> with free flying bees kept two stewards busy throughout the day, pointing out the queen and the various other activities taking place within the hive. This is always a favourite with children, and adults too. Despite the heat, the colony was remarkably calm, coming in with pollen loads on their back legs and honey stomachs full of nectar, just like they do in their normal hive. Visitors were amazed to see the queen laying eggs in the comb every few minutes! Thanks to John Easton for transporting his &#8216;flying hive&#8217; from Exeter, giving us the chance to observe them up close.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eastdevonbk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/HS25-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11338\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#800000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Photo Competition<\/mark><\/strong> was well placed in the centre of the marquee, with visitors being asked to vote for their favourite picture.
