Show Notes

In this Bees of Bensham podcast, Mattie interviews Mark Welfare. Mark is a freelance naturalist who led a number of nature walks around Bensham & Saltwell and Thornley woods for Bees of Bensham, exploring both flora and fauna. Here they discuss, amongst other things, the merits of leaving things to grow with little management, hoverfly and bee identification and what online groups and sites are good to join; plus the problems with hedgerows and dandelions!
