Beekeeping experience with honey tasting

Highlights

  • Open a hive yourself
  • Meet the bees up close
  • Hands-on, not just watching
  • Honey tasting to finish
  • Meet a local beekeeper
Come and spend time with the bees. This is a local beekeeping experience where you get properly hands-on: you'll open a hive, see how the colony works and meet the bees up close. It's a practical, curious sort of visit rather than a lecture. You'll learn by doing, with a beekeeper on hand to show you what you're looking at. We finish with a honey tasting, so you can try the sweet result of all that work.
