Beekeeping Experiences
Have you ever wondered what goes on inside a bee hive? How many bees are in a hive? What does a queen bee look like? What do male bees (drones) do? Join us for a 2-3 hour experience with an experienced bee keeper.
Designed for the absolute beginner, gain an insight into the life of bees and receive practical, hands-on experience with a real hive of bees. All you need to bring is a sense of adventure and a pair of wellies!
Register as an individual or a couple (max group size is 4 people) by contacting membership@hwbees.org.uk. Participants will be provided with protective clothing and will be given a jar of local honey to take away. Participants must be 18 years old or over and are covered by our public liability insurance.
