About the experience
Experience the fascinating world of beekeeping on the Norfolk/Suffolk border! Join the bees and their human helper for a two-hour visit to a lovely apiary where you'll learn everything about keeping bees. Located near Bungay, in the tranquil countryside of East Anglia, Stacy and her bees will welcome you to their beautiful home. Surrounded by farms, fields, and flower meadows, the bees have the perfect environment for pollen-hunting and impressing their Queen. Get ready to be amazed by the fascinating world of bees. With Stacy's guidance, you'll discover how they make honey, where they go during winter, how they make wax, and how they communicate. You'll not only observe but also handle the frames of bees, identify pollen and honey stocks, search for eggs, and find the Queen bee among thousands of her workers. Stacy's passion for beekeeping is evident, as she sells her natural and handmade honey, beeswax candles and wraps, leather balm, and wood polish all over East Anglia, Essex, and beyond. After spending time around the hives, you'll get to taste the delicious honey produced by Stacy's talented bees. It's an experience you'll never forget!
