Would you like to know more about honey bees?
We offer taster sessions for individuals or small groups who want to know more about bees and beekeeping.
These sessions last for an afternoon or a full day, depending on the aims of those who are attending.
This includes visiting the hives and handling bees, which is the highlight of the session. We provide protective clothing.
(If the weather is unsuitable for opening hives we will arrange another date.)
The Honey Bee Taster Day will cover:
- The lifecycle of the honey bee and a beekeeper's tasks through the year
- The importance of forage and pollinators, pathogens, predators and bee health
- We will visit the bees and open a hive, handling bees under supervision
- Local honey is usually available for tasting and purchase

Please be aware that a Taster Session is a great day out but it cannot deliver adequate preparation for taking on a colony of bees.
