Tutor Profile: Dan Banks  'I have always been interested in the natural world.  As a teenager, I became increasingly fascinated in ornithology, subsequently studying Ecology and Wildlife Conservation at Brighton University. I then worked in South Africa on a project mapping the nests of raptors.  I am now a licensed ringer with the British Trust for Ornithology, adding to my growing knowledge of how and why birds migrate. I have spent time on a migration ringing project in Greece, where we were recording migrating raptors and other birds moving through. Having volunteered with the Sussex Wildlife Trust, I am now employed by the Surrey Wildlife Trust as the Citizen Science Officer. It is exciting to be working on the Space4Nature project, where we are recording different plant species for use in satellite technology. I also communicate regularly with the Surrey Biodiversity Information Centre as well as meeting with and supporting a variety of local recording groups. In my spare time I regularly go birdwatching and enjoy reading about different bird types. I have currently seen over 150 different bird species found in the UK.'

Bees make honey, they live in a hive, and they look after their queen…right? The answer is yes –if you’re talking about honeybees. But not if you’re talking about the other 270 species of bee found in our country! This unique course, delivered by Erica Evans from Hive Helpers, will explore the importance of both managed and wild bees in Surrey, and how these fascinating pollinators live, reproduce, and interact with each other. Seen from the perspective of an eco-aware beekeeper, Erica will explain the pollen and nectar needs and uses of different bee species. We’ll also look at honey production from flower to jar, followed by a honey tasting, and learn about the extraordinary communication tool that is the ‘waggle dance’. We’ll familiarise ourselves with the characteristics of various bee species, along with tips on how to identify them in the field, then put these skills into practice by searching for bees in the ancient woodland of Nower Wood. The day will conclude with a talk about how we can all make responsible changes to benefit these declining but essential insects, be it in a simple window box, a garden, or community green space. Tutor Details - Erica Evans: Erica Evans is the Founder of Hive Helpers CIC, a project which combines nature conservation and sustainable beekeeping activities to improve local habitats and local wellbeing.
