Bees and Books

Saturday was sunny - about 15 degrees - and bees from all three hives were flying and taking in pollen (by the look of it from crocuses, aconites and Japanese honeysuckle). The new colony had finished their candy so I gave them a fresh 1.5 kilos of Apifondia.
On Friday 2 March I'll be doing an event with Claire Tomalin titled "Charles Dickens: the Best of Men, The Worst of Men", organized by the Royal Society of Literature and chaired by Maggie Fergusson. It will be at 12.30 in the LSE's Sheikh Zayed Lecture Theatre, New Academic Building, Lincoln's Inn Fields, WC2A 3LJ. Admission id free but you need a ticket from the LSE website www.lse.ac.uk/spaceforthought
