As a wildlife TV presenter, I've been lucky to travel all over the world and see some stunning

locations, but I have to say nothing quite matches the peace and tranquility of an English garden

in summer. And of course, because this is England in front of me, there would be a table set for tea.

bees are crucial to how we live our lives. And that's because when it comes to our ability to grow
