Strangford Lough may be best known for seals and birds, but Barra is surprised to discover that it鈥檚 also becoming famous for its honey bees. He meets beekeeper Valentine from Veesbees and her husband Chris at their loughshore apiary. Barra dons beekeeping gear and has a go at collecting some honey from the hive.

Travelling on to Colin Glen in Belfast, Barra becomes one of the first people to try out Ireland鈥檚 longest zip wire. He goes into the city centre to take a boat ride through the busy Belfast docks with Dr Justin Judge, a local marine biologist. Barra is blown away by the amount of seals here and how close they are to the city centre.

He heads up to Glenarm beach, where he meets sea glass hunter Ria McCullough and her daughter Emily. Barra鈥檚 last visit is to the Slievenacloy nature reserve in the hills above Lisbunr. He meets ranger Ronald Surgeoner and is amazed to hear that there are lizards in Belfast.
