Learn About Bee Hive Keeping

With each bee keeping experience, you'll be given a deep dive tour into the beehive and learn all about its different functions and hierarchies, all the while searching for the queen bee who is essential, as she is the only one who can produce eggs and a new queen - essential for the continuation of the colony. She might be hard to find at first, but once you've found her, it will be hard not to take your eyes off her.

Depending on the experience, you'll also get the opportunity to handle frames of bees and carry out inspections with the head beekeeper on your experience and check how much honey and pollen has been stored. It's quite a lot to get your head around, but there will be lots of time for questions and even the chance for you to sample some fresh honey from the hive. You'll never take it for granted again!
