<p><b>Alys Fowler </b>(@AlysFowler) likes growing food and flowers. Her flowers are a bit too far away for Steve's bees, so she's keeping the pollinators of Birmingham happy instead. She has written four books, presents gardening programmes on TV (including her own show <i>The Edible Garden</i>) and writes for the <i>Guardian</i>. She likes wild swimming, riding bikes and cooking. </p>
<p><b>Steve Benbow </b>(@Londonhoneyman) runs the London Honey Company which he set up twelve years ago from the roof of an ex-council block in Tower Bridge. It now has hives on the roof of Fortnum and Mason, Tate Modern and the National Portrait Gallery. Random House published his first book <i>The Urban Beekeeper </i>in 2012.</p>
