On Tuesday we had the pleasure of being interviewed live on the Radio by Richard Smith from BBC Essex on the Dave Monk morning show. Richard arrived in his technically laden BBC Essex transmitter van with a spectacular deployable dish on the roof.

Richard was game for getting into a bee suit so we could broadcast the noises of the bees, and his experience right from the edge of the hive I had selected to open. It was a warm sunny morning so the bees would be fine for the duration of the broadcast. Trying to cram his headphones into the hood and veil was quite a challenge but we got there in the end just in time to go live on air. You can hear the broadcast below.

It was a really interesting and great day and I was pleased I didn’t say anything untoward on air. Some more photos all courtesy of Rebecca Hills – Digital Marketing Officer at New Hall School
