Then peak inside the entrance of a wild beehive perched in the canopy above our Embassy. From there, you can take in the virtual sights and listen to the bees buzz past your head as they come and go from their nest in the tree.

The Finnish Ambassador and her team will don their aprons and bake some delicious honey biscuits for all to share. These biscuits will be available to purchase in small packs with all proceeds going to charity.
