Suit up, go through a hive and learn to read the bees and spot the queen
Join us for our Beekeeping Course & Honey Afternoon Tea.
Here in the UK, May is a busy time for beekeepers who are tending their bees and watching them progress into strong colonies and often bringing in a spring honey crop depending on the weather and forage available.
Join Ash, our experienced beekeeper, for a two-hour immersive beekeeping experience at our on-site hives. Suit up and step inside a working hive as you learn how to read bee behaviour, understand colony life, and try your hand at spotting the queen.
After your hive visit, unwind with a themed afternoon tea served in the Great Hall, inspired by the natural flavours of the season.
All equipment is provided, including a full bee suit and gloves. No previous beekeeping experience is required.
