Beekeeping Experience

Service Description

During your 2hr beekeeping experience you'll learn what's involved in being a beekeeper. We'll take you through what you're likely to see in the hive in our classroom before getting suited up and opening a hive in the apiary. Inside the hive we'll see worker honeybees, drones, honeycomb, honey and hopefully the queen! Small group sizes (maximum 10 people) mean you'll get the chance to be as hands on as you want and ask as many questions as you can think of. We provide a beesuit and gloves but ask that you wear long trousers and wellies or walking boots to protect your ankles and avoid the mud. Ballet shoes, sandles and other styles of shoe that leave your foot exposed are not appropriate footware. We recommend tying long hair back or wearing a headband. Please note: beekeeping experiences require a minimum of 4 participants to go ahead. If you book onto a session which fails to meet the required number of participants 7 days before the event takes place, you will be offered the chance to book onto another session or a full refund. Participants who arrive in unsuitable clothing or footware may be unable to take part and will not be eligible for a refund
