Jason Mohammad finds out why Buckfast Abbey have been keeping bees for centuries, after Radio 2 launched our Big Bee Challenge.

Earlier this week we launched the Big Bee Challenge competition for kids aged 6-12 to design a bee friendly garden. Clare Demsley and Martin Hann from Buckfast Abbey in Devon, a Benedictine Monastery tell Jason about why bees are so crucial for an healthy environment and why bees are a huge part of Buckfast's history.
Plus how they can help our mental health and why we're so fascinated by our pollinating pals.
