My dad has retired and he loves spending time in his greenhouse, I love seeing how he cares about his plants. He’s always talks about the importance of bees in the world. He deserves a little treat because he is kind.
Our dad has been tending his garden with his wife for fifty odd years . It’s a haven for all wildlife.
Over the years he has built his own nest boxes and bee houses, which are now deteriorating with age.
Sadly though, our dad now has Parkinson’s disease and has lost the sight in one eye. We are trying to find creative ways that will make his life easier but where he can still enjoy the wildlife and his garden without the added stress of having to do repairs etc.
Your bee block is the sort of thing we are looking for – a garden and life enhancer for someone who is less able.
It’s perfect.
I would love to win the bee brick for my husband.He keeps bees and has overcome a lot in his life,illness and many other problems that life throws up and really deserves a treat.He looks after me and we have a wonderful life.
My dad’s garden is a great place for him and his wife to relax. He works a full time, physical job and is also a carer for his wife who has MS. Being able to sit out and relax with a cold drink, or have family and friends over for a BBQ, or just to sit and listen to nature is always welcome. I introduced him to the idea of a bee hotel and since then he’s been really interested in seeing bees at work and just listening to the gentle buzz as they go about their business. A Green & Blue bee brick would be a great addition to his garden.
My Dad passed away from cancer at the age of 53, 6 years ago this September, he was my hero and friend, If he was still alive today I believe he would have loved this. My mum has taken on the roll of both mother and father now and it’s been difficult for her and my dad wanted us to make sure we looked out for her and she loves wildlife as much as my dad did, so this would bring her joy.
