You may have noticed that Chloe and I recently visited London, but we haven’t yet said why, as we have been awaiting an official photo, which hasn’t arrived yet, but we can’t wait any longer to announce, that the purpose of our Trip, was to visit the Lady Mayor of London, at her place; Mansion House, as Chloe had to collect a very special award for outstanding achievement in her Bee farming apprenticeship! And not only that, but Chloe made History, as the first ever bee farming apprentice to receive the Livery Companies Skills Council Master award, which was given to her for a combination of achieving a distinction, her commitment and hard work towards both The Noble Bee and the program, and having an overall wonderfully positive attitude! Chloe invited me along as her special guest, and we took part in a very lovely and traditional ceremony. Chloe was nominated by The worshipful Company of Wax Chandlers and The Bee farmers Association and I felt extremely proud of Chloe for winning this award and she truly deserved it!
