Fancy a trip to the lovely city of Oxford? The Museum of Natural History – Oxford University has an exhibition on until 29th September 2016 by artist Kurt Jackson entitled ‘Bees (and the odd wasp) in my Bonnet’

“Kurt Jackson’s art is a celebration of the natural world. Recently he has been inspired by the bees he encounters at home in Cornwall and across the UK. This exhibition brings together paintings, sculpture and Museum collections to explore the diverse and beautiful world of bees.”

The most fantastical thing is the display of all 270 species of British Bee.

The exhibition opens on 18th March, with further details available at this link http://visionsofnature.net/exhibitions/kurt-jackson-bees-and-the-odd-wasp-in-my-bonnet/
