Bee Shelter, Hartpury

“The key to nature's therapy is feeling like a tiny part of it, not a master over it. There's amazing pride in seeing a bee land on a flower you planted - but that's not your act of creation, it's your act of joining in.”
Victoria Coren Mitchell
Originally located in Nailsworth, then moved to the grounds of Hartpury College in 1968, the bee shelter was relocated to St Mary's churchyard in 2002. Although originally believed to date from much earlier, current thinking is that it’s the work of 19th century stonemason Paul Tuffley, one of a prominent Gloucestershire family of masons, stone merchants and quarrymasters (Wikipedia).
