Do Bumblebees fly at night? Yes!
Do Bumblebees glow!Yes!
Or at least they will
in the Bolsover Lantern Procession on Saturday 30th November
Creeping Toad is working with the Bumblebee ConservationTrust’s Pollinating the Peaks Project to make a set of bumblebee lanterns for
the procession
Over several days we are aiming to make a whole colony of
bumbles with lots of small personal lanterns ready to fly around a giant Queen
(or two). There will be quick balloon bumbles ready to decorate. Or you could take a bit longer to make a small willow bumble or a willow pyrmid dorated with lots of bees and maybe some bee-friendlyflowers! Then there will be our big Queen Lanterns that we'll will need somehelp to make.
Why not join us for a buzzing good time of willow, tissue, glue and
laughter in Chesterfield?
Find out a bit more about Bumblebees, as well! Maybe over the winter as our Bumbles sleep you could plan a bee-friendly garden for them to wake to in the spring?
