Remember some months ago i mentioned i had taken a phone call about a project, well here is some snippets taken from a doc, sounds really interesting, i know of a couple who are involved had anyone else offered their services on this forum?
How cool would it be to have more bees on Springwatch, i love that programme.

BBC
- We are close to finalising the 40 properties needed to link to all the local and regional BBC radio stations.
- The project is due to go live at the end of May and run until the end of September. The launch will happen just before or to tie in with BBC’s Springwatch TV programme.
- There are plans for at least one hive to have a Bee Cam to stream to the BBC website/our own website.
- As part of this project, each radio station will be giving away 1,000 seeds. It is likely that the seeds will be vegetables which are reliant on bee pollination for production. We are waiting for the BBC to confirm the seed choice. The artwork for the packets will then be prepared etc. The seeds will either be given away on air, or via the BBC Springwatch roadshows which the BBC is planning.
