Get a fascinating introduction to the world of honey bees with our half-day Beekeeping Taster Session. Your experience begins with an engaging talk on the life of the honey bee—how they differ from wasps and bumblebees—and a quick journey through a beekeeper’s year.
Then it’s time to suit up in full beekeeping gear and head out to the hives. Guided by our expert beekeepers, you’ll open a working colony, handle a frame of bees, spot eggs and larvae, and even try to find the Queen herself. Along the way, you’ll learn to identify honey stores, pollen, and the different castes of bees that keep the hive thriving.
Afterwards, relax with tea and cake while enjoying our short talk, Beyond the Bees, exploring the many wonderful uses of beeswax and honey. Before you leave, you’ll also have the chance to browse and purchase bee-inspired gifts and souvenirs to remember your visit.
