Summer Experience
From April to September, the hives are buzzing with activity and you get a chance to peak inside. Expect the same beer tasting and introduction to bees, then don a beekeeping suit and head over to the hives for a hive inspection. Have a go at handling the frames, and finding the Queen Bee herself. In case of bad weather, we will look at the life cycle of the bee, bi-products of the hive and build frames in place of beekeeping. There's so much to see!
Winter Experience
From October to March, we will be running our winter beekeeping experience. Expect the same beer tasting and introduction to bees with a more in depth look at how the colony works over the colder months. Help the beekeepers prepare for next season by building a hive, learning about the bi-products of the hive and understanding how to inspect the health of the colony over the winter. Whether you're helping the beekeepers prep the hives, or relaxing with some wax candle making, the bees will be buzzing, and so will you!
