A colony of bees can number 60,000 bees in the summer months
The number of people keeping bees in Dorset is increasing, and may be in response to media reports that bees are 'under threat'.

The route of a former Dorset railway line from Maiden Newton to Bridport is to be a dedicated pathway as the project receives a £5,000 grant.

Join in the nationwide attempt to plant 600,000 trees on Saturday, 5 December 2009.
