Bee Vigilant!

How to encourage Bees into your garden.

With the global decline of bees,

it has never been more important to support the pollinator population in your garden.

The Royal Horticultural Society reports Britain as having 25 species of bumblebees, of which about 11 commonly visit garden flowers. They also state that there are about 260 species of solitary bee in Britain, all of which have been in decline in the last 50 years for a variety of reasons.

How to encourage bees Perhaps the best way to encourage bees of all type into you garden is by providing them with flowers from February to November.

Five ways to help bees: 1.Clumps of bee-friendly plants in sunny places will be more attractive than plants that are scattered or in shade.

2.Double or multi-petaled cultivars of plants are best avoided as they may lack pollen and/or nectar, or it may be difficult for bees to reach them.

3. Also avoid pollen-free cultivars of some plants, such as sunflowers, that are grown as florists’ flowers.

8

4.Use pesticides sparingly. Those based on fatty acids or plant oils and extracts pose little danger to bees but will not control all pests. Avoid spraying open flowers and if possible do spraying in the evening when bees are less active 5.Become a beekeeper. Details of county beekeepers associations and training courses can be found on the British Beekeepers’ Association website www.bbka. org.uk 4.Provide nest sites for solitary bees. Some will nest in hollow stems, such as bamboo canes or herbaceous plant stems.

Hole diameters in the range 2-8mm are required. Cardboard nest tubes can be bought in garden centres. Holes 2-8mm diameter can be drilled in fence posts or logs. Place these nest sites in sunny positions. Some solitary bees nest in the ground, either in bare soil or short turf.

They will find their own nest sites, so tolerate the small mounds of soil deposited by the female bees when they excavate their nest tunnels.

Bumblebee nest boxes can be purchased but they are often ignored by queen bumblebees. They prefer to find their own nest sites down tunnels dug by mice or in grass tussocks.

Will I get stung?

Getting stung by bees in your garden is unlikely, as long as you treat bees with respect.

All female bees have stings, but solitary bees are not at all aggressive and only using their stings in self-defence if roughly handled.

Late summer flowers attracting bees include angelica, aster, buddleia, cardoon, cornflower, dahlia (single-flowered), delphinium, eryngium, fuchsia, globe thistle, ivy, lavender, penstemon, scabious and sedum.

Similarly bumblebees and honeybees are unlikely to sting while they are going about their business of collecting nectar and pollen if they are left alone.

Avoid disturbing bumblebee nests or standing too close to a bee hive unless you are wearing a beekeeper’s suit.

Flowers to tempt Bees Hawthorn and potentilla, part of the rose family seem to be irresistible to bees, as are fennel, angelica, cow parsley and sedum flowers. snapdragons and heathers, are also all favourite feeding grounds for bees.

Spring flowers attracting bees include bugle, bluebells crab apple, daffodil, the beautiful flowering cherry and currant, forget-me-not, hellebore, pulmonaria, pussy willow, rhododendron, rosemary, viburnum and thrift.

To tempt the bees in early summer plant aquilegia, astilbe, campanula, everlasting sweet pea, fennel, geranium, potentilla, stachys, teasel, thyme and verbascum.

To advertise call 0115

Make Your Garden a Home for Bees The more flowers you plant, the more varieties of bees you will attract into your garden, and the more flowers and vegetables will be pollinated. This is particularly important for fruit and vegetable growers as apples, plums, pears, cherries, raspberries, blackberries, blackcurrants, red currants, gooseberries and strawberries, broad beans, runner beans and some members of the marrow-pumpkin family all rely on insects to bring about pollination. Be conscious that you should never use pesticides on plants while they are in flower, as this will harmbees.

Haydn Interiors Ltd was established in the 1980’s by Mick Booth and has been at its present location for 18 years. Mick was joined in the business by his daughter, Claire Grace, 15 years ago.

He now oversees installations, whilst Claire uses her design skills working alongside customers.

The company’s Haydn Road showroom houses examples of solutions to awkward storage problems and shows how carousels, pull-out larders, internal baskets etc can be incorporated to increase usable space.

Claire said: “You cannot have your kitchen or bathroom out of action for too long. We organise the whole thing for you – all in-house – so that the work runs smoothly and with as little disruption as possible.”

The company is featured in the Age Concern’s business directory, which lists reputable companies committed to excellent customer service.

This gives customers and their families extra peace of mind when having an installation carried out.

It’s always refreshing and inspiring to see another business starting up in the NG9 area, keeping our communities alive, this month the Grapevine Magazine visits Olive Creations in Stapleford a shop with a difference:

“I enjoy the creative side of my business and like working with customers who call in and request various items such as customised buntings, a photograph of theirs can be turned into a bunting for a special occasion or for a children’s room, or something personal to them, pop star, tv, film etc. I can take a design or photograph (maybe from holidays, travels etc) and turn it into bespoke wallpaper, currently there’s Julie Andrew’s Sound of Music wallpaper that I made on one wall of the shop, and on the other wall, along with nautical gifts on sale, wallpaper made from photographs of beach huts, giving a seaside feel”.

Word art pictures can be designed individually to demonstrate or reflect on a person’s or couple’s life together, ideal present for an engagement, wedding, anniversary, birth or christening.

If you’re looking for a gift with a difference or maybe something personalised specifically for an event, or an occasion, then pop into Olive Creations on Derby Road Stapleford.

Nichol Dexter the owner told me “I specialise in unique, personalised items and gifts, everything from distressed furniture, to bespoke wallpaper, customised buntings, wall art, illuminated metal signs, bespoke jewellery, personalised props, seating plans, and table headers for weddings, plus wonderful unique ideas for weddings, birthday gifts for children, parents, and grandparents etc.”

Coming from a creative background as a sign artist/maker and having worked with various materials including wood, Nichol makes unusual items, at affordable prices to sell in for the shop, this way she can cut out the “middleman” as items are made direct for the customer. Some items are bought in from suppliers, but still at excellent prices. She adds:

22

Please call into the shop or visit www.olivecreations.co.uk you can also order through the website too. Check out the face book page for immediate updates so you don’t miss out on promotions etc.

Nichol can also undertake commissions for signage, please call for details.

I Care, You Care, We Care We all hear in the news that we are living

longer than we did 50 years ago, is this to do with better health care, better diets or better living conditions? Whatever the reason we need to make sure we handle the demand on our health and social care services in the future. Currently adult social care employs 1.63 million people to meet the demand we have, by 2025 the demand for social care will increase by at least half a million. Finding, keeping and developing enough Caregivers to meet the current and future need for care and support is a massive challenge.

Many people do not understand what social care is or the opportunities it presents and it is important that careers in care are promoted in a new, fresh, positive way. This is the key reason Skills for Care introduced the I Care ...Ambassador service. The main aim of the service is to raise the profile of social care as a career by sharing experience, promoting positive images and raising awareness of the roles, opportunities, route ways and resources available to people making career choices.

Primo Sule from Home Instead Senior Care said ‘ we joined the initiative in late 2013 and since then we have signed up more than 15 percent of our workforce, this means we are giving the opportunity to Caregivers to share their passion in supporting others and promoting the many opportunities that the sector presents.’ Caregivers use their experience, expertise and knowledge to influence the recruitment and retention of the social care workforce ensuring

26

we have enough of the right people to provide high quality care and support services.

I Care ...Ambassadors also attend extra training and use their new found knowledge to increase independence of our clients.

Four of our Caregivers attended Chair Based Exercise Instructor Training Classes provided by Nottingham CityCare Partnership. Chair based exercise is a great way of reducing the risk of a fall by improving co ordination, health and general wellbeing. Some of the exercises are specially adapted to help people maintain or regain independence after an illness; it has also been proven to help those living with long term conditions such as diabetes and Parkinson’s.

Our caregivers encourage and stimulate clients to remain independent and this is just one example of how they achieve this.

One of our Caregivers said ‘the training has helped me feel more confident about helping my clients to increase physical activity and help reduce the risk of falling. I felt good about signposting the daughter of a client to get some professional advice about health and wellbeing, I would not have known about the different services if I did not attend the training. I am looking forward to helping others.

RADFORD CARE GROUP Hidden away in a corner of Radford is a small but busy care centre providing a place of warmth, safety and fun, where those over 50 can spend a day with friends and be part of their community. This is Radford Care Group which provides both a friendship group and day care, operating side by side and offering a wide range of services and activities for older people who want to spend time with friends or who may have greater care needs but want support to remain independent whilst enjoying the many activities that Radford Care Group can offer. See our website (www. radfordcaregroup.org.uk)Part of their provision is the care for those with dementia – an increasingly worrying condition for our older population and those caring at home. Radford Care Group has a team of dedicated carers who successfully support those with dementia and provide families with a day of respite at home. Also provided now is additional help for families in this situation who want to know more about this very disabling and confusing condition. It is specifically for families and friends, not paid carers, and is called Making Sense of Dementia (an Information Programme for carers of people with dementia). The ‘Programme’ runs for seven weeks and is just two hours a week. During the two hoursessions, carers learn about the different types of dementia, how dementia affects the brain. Carers will also learn how dementia can affect communication, behaviour and appetite and what to do when the situation becomes difficult. The final sessions cover infection control, continence management, welfare benefits, legal and financial information and local services. One very positive aspect of the sessions is the chance to meet other carers in the same situation which enables people to share experiences, feel less isolated and learn a lot from each other. Many friendships are made at these groups. There are usually about 10 people but may be more.

28

In order to enable it to be accessible to all, you may choose from a weekday, Saturday morning or weekday evening at Radford Care Group where respite care for the person with dementia can also be arranged. We also try, where possible, to help with transport. The programme is available to carers in Nottingham City and the County. Carers are asked to contribute £2.50 per session. Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided and lots of written information to take home. Every effort is made to ensure that the groups are very friendly, relaxed and welcoming.

The carers are asked to let us know what they think of the programme and there have been some very positive comments.

“Saturday mornings won’t be the same without the group,” ‘I have never learnt so much in such a short time’ ‘I wish I had known this five years ago’ ‘This has helped me look after my father much better’ “I feel so much more confident about making decision now – this has been really helpful.“It is great to hear other carers and know that you are not on your own” If you think you or your family could benefit from joining us, please call Radford Care Group for details and dates on 0115 978 6133 or email info@radfordcaregroup.org.uk. You would be most welcome to join us. There is a also brochure about our friendship group (NOTE: our group is also for people over 50, who don’t have dementia, but may be are on their own, don’t see anyone, lonely and seek companionship, (for those on their own and can’t get here we may be able to help with transport too, please contact us for more details).

Book Review by Clare Lyons Eat Like a Man edited by Ryan D‛Agostino

Not wanting to be accused of sexism after reviewing Girls Are Best, this non-fiction title should balance the scales. It is ostensibly a cookery book, but in fact offers so much more and is an entertaining read for both genders. The book separates over 100 recipes into ‘meals’ with a chapter on Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Sides, Dessert and Drinks. It is an American book, so most of the contributing chefs are not household names; however a small bio gives some insight into their styles and expertise.

It is heavily dominated by meat, so not for everyone, but what makes the book a good gift or general read are the articles dotted throughout.

We particularly enjoyed How to Forage Like a Man, The Coffee Matrix, Things a Man Should Know About Wines & Spirits.

On a more serious front there are some really great recipes in the book, a couple of interesting articles by famous chefs and a good grounding in the ‘basics’ e.g. how to sauté.

Each recipe has a difficulty rating (you can also search by difficulty in the index), very clear instructions as well as beautiful photography. They cover a range of simple items like garlic bread, classic American dishes and some more ‘exotic’ fare but it’s the whole package that makes it worth the price.

Children’s Choice Hector and the Big Bad Knight by Alex T Smith It’s quite nice to come across a book that challenges some of

the traditional roles, so a naughty knight was quite refreshing (and gave wolves a bit of a break). The book has great illustrations which add lots of information to the story allowing non-readers to enjoy it and take part fully. The main thrust of the story is that the smallest, weediest person is actually the bravest and cleverest – and that is a lesson that most children are encouraged by. Ideas about planning ahead and creative thinking are also in there, so lots of food for thought, as well as a bit of poo which always proves hilarious…

Alex T. Smith is most well-known for Ella a ladybird version of Cinderella, but all of their offerings are lovely, Home and My Mum Has X-Ray Vision especially.

IN THE COMMUNITY EZ NORDIC WALKING REALLY IS EASY!

Looking for a full body workout that anyone can do? Broxtowe residents can look no further than Broxtowe Borough Council’s new inclusive Nordic Walking sessions.

The Council’s sport development team, Broxtowe Sport have teamed up with local Nordic Walking instructor Catherine Hughes to deliver the sessions at Kimberley Leisure Centre every Saturday until the end of September between 2.30pm and 3.30pm.

The sessions are at a steadier pace than traditional Nordic Walking, with clearer instructions making them more accessible to those with learning disabilities and mobility issues.

Jill Carter, who attends with her daughter Jessie who has learning disabilities said: “We are really enjoying Nordic Walking. I've tried mainstream sessions myself and just haven't managed to get the co-ordination right, so it's great to be able to take it slowly and break it down as well as be among such an encouraging and supportive group.”

Another mum, Dawn Pillar also attends with her daughter Eleanor who she says is “walking further than I have known her to in a long time thanks to the sessions.”

Nordic Walking is a special technique using two poles which means you can strengthen and tone both the lower and upper body whilst walking.

34

It can burn up to 46% more calories compared to ordinary walking and can reach the same intensity as running but without the impact.

It is becoming a fast growing recreational fitness sport in Nottinghamshire thanks to a handful of passionate instructors. The sport dates back to the 1930s as an off season training method for competitive cross-country skiers.

Sessions are suitable for young people aged 16 and their families or carers. Each session costs just £3.00.

Broxtowe Borough Council's sports development team, Broxtowe Sport, work with a variety of different partners including residents, sports people, coaches, volunteers and clubs to improve the quality and range of sports provision in Broxtowe Borough.

LEFT TO RIGHT: Dawn Pillar, Peter Kay, Jessie Carter-Kay, Eleanor Pillar, Rachel Davis (instructor) and Nicola Cousins.

RECIPE

Butter Chicken Curry This is a quick recipe, but gives the impression of being complicated because of the lovely, rich flavours.

Serves 2.

INGREDIENTS 2 tsp ground ginger 2 tsp chilli powder 2 tsp cumin seeds 1 clove of garlic 2 tsp ground cardamom 1 tbsp garam masala powder 2 tbsp tomato paste 4 tbsp natural yogurt Dash of double cream 2 diced chicken breasts 30g salted butter 2 tbsp oil 2 finely chopped onions A few bay leaves

METHOD Mix the garlic and all the spices, other than the bay leaves, together in a bowl and add the tomato paste, yogurt and cream. (If there is no cream in the fridge a teaspoon of cornflour will do the same job). Add the chicken to the spice mixture, making sure it is coated thoroughly.

In a high sided frying pan or medium sized saucepan on medium heat melt the butter and add the oil and finely chopped onions.

Fry the chicken in the same pan and once it is lightly browned, scrape the rest of the spice mixture into the pan and add the bay leaves and enough water to bring together all the ingredients into a sauce.

Mix well until smooth and serve with rice.
