Fancy entering an auction for a Fortnum & Mason bee, on display to celebrate 100 years of Disney Winnie the Pooh and being auctioned in aid of the bbka, here is all you need to know!
Have you travelled through St Pancras International recently? You may have spotted something a little different on the concourse. 🐝
To mark 100 years of Disney Winnie the Pooh, Fortnum & Mason have commissioned a set of golden bees - some adorning the front of their Piccadilly store and others flying around this impressive beehive installation at the station.
And there's a lovely detail for us: these gorgeous ornamental bees are being auctioned, with proceeds coming to the BBKA to support our work educating beekeepers and members of the public on all aspects of honey bees and beekeeping.
The auction runs until 13 August, so if you're tempted, you can register to bid here: https://fortnumandmason.indy.auction/auctions/6a5a1e44d3d23ff3a1127848
Have you seen the bees at St Pancras or outside Fortnum & Mason?
