30 Days Wild in June - Bees and History

We visited the Living History event at the Weald and Downland Living Museum this afternoon, which I have been really looking forward to. 

I hadn't realised what a broad spectrum of history was being covered until, whilst I was having a conversation with a Tudor era servant, a WWII US Army jeep drove past the door of the mediaeval house we were in! Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of the Jeep, however here are a couple of the house:



Later on, as we took a break, I noticed that the flower beds by the lake were buzzing with many different bees.

I think the plant is a flowering lemon balm.
