The space underneath it from where the previous photo was taken from.

A look at the inside of The Hive. As far as I know, it does take information from an actual beehive and translates it into sound and light effects in the pavilion.

This is The Hive. Originally built as the United Kingdom's pavilion for the Expo 2015 in Milano, it now has found its place in Kew Gardens. It's all about the life of bees, pavilion and its direct surroundings both.
My brother, having been to the Expo in Milano, can probably explain it all better and in more detail than I can.

The Orangery way up in the northern part of the Gardens, near one of the other entrances and Kew Palace. It does not house any plants these days, there's a quite decent restaurant instead.

Another shot of the outside, this time from the north.

It houses a small selection of artefacts that (as far as I know) are more or less contemporary with the house itself. Meaning just before or shortly after the Meiji restoration.

The Minka House in the northern half of the Gardens. This was erected here in 2001 but the framework is much older. It's from an old house (built around 1900 they say) that originally stood in a suburb of Okazaki, Aichi prefecture.

The other large body of water inside of Kew Gardens (besides the pond you could see on an earlier picture) is this lake with several . Although this is only a part of it. It looks natural, but is actually a man-made structure as well. If I remember correctly, this picture was taken from the Sackler Crossing, a small bridge across it, looking westwards along the lake's north bank to the right and two of the islands to the left.

A view across from one side of the walkway to the other. It is built in a full circle. And as you can see, the design of the pillars was itself somewhat inspired by trees.

Some of those treetops come quite close to the walkway, as you can see here. Also the walk itself is quite safe and stable. I'm somewhat afraid of heights myself and I never had any problem up there.
