There’s always something fascinating to spot around the Palace grounds if you pause for a moment and take a closer look 👀

One of our volunteer photographers recently captured mating damselflies, honey bees gathering around the pond and even what looks to be a black soldier fly!

Visit the Palace garden and see what you can spot 🐝

🐝 Happy World Bee Day 🐝

Did you know the walled garden is home to resident bees?

Our beehives play an important role in supporting biodiversity across the Palace grounds, with bees helping to pollinate plants and keep the garden thriving.

If you visit at this time of year, there’s a good chance you’ll spot them hard at work among the flowers 🌼

Bear on the loose🐻
