Even under lowering skies, plenty of people attended Dr Bee's 3rd annual Bees and Blueberries Festival last weekend - part of the growing agri-tourism industry. The quiet backwater of Ford Road Detour was invaded by hordes of people. Besides the "bee beard" (twice daily) the program included taekwando demonstrations and a blueberry pie eating contest. Inside the Honeyland shop is a wall showing a hive at work. Honeyland supplies hives of bees to blueberry farmers, for pollinating their crops, and you can take courses in beekeeping there.
