The Beehive Yourself Show A podcast dedicated to English rural life.

Most years I visit the Uffington White Horse to greet the rising sun on the summer solstice. This year I took my field recorder and made a podcast about my encounters at four in the morning.
My journey began along the single-track road which passes underneath the chalk figure. The real destination was Dragon Hill; a conical mound sitting beneath and to the north of the Horse. My real hope was to capture the soundscape of the pagans saluting the sun and blowing their horn.

I walked along these parts of the Ridgeway, with a camera and tripod, and recorded the bees I encountered. At home, I cross-referenced the footage with a guidebook: 'Field Guide to the Bees of Great Britain and Ireland'.
The reason for doing this small body of research is my hope that I will change your perspective. Naturally, when we traverse the Ridgeway we enjoy the landscape, with its large skies and breathtaking views. However, if we look closely at the overgrown no man's land hugging each side of the Ridgeway path, we might just discover the busy lives of bees and the beautiful flowers they forage upon. This theatre of the tiny is just as awe inspiring as the grand vistas we see on the horizon.

“Nicky purchased a jar of my honey, and delighted, she posted a photo to Instagram. Hashtags were all the rage a few years ago, and Nicky diligently tagged her photo with 'Love Honey'.
With hashtags you can search for a particular word or phrase. I clicked on the 'Love Honey' tag - yet it wasn't an endless stream of honey jars that I saw. Amongst my pot of golden goodness was fetish wear, vibrating toys, and scantily clad women; honey was in the minority.”
