About the experience
We are excited to offer two-hour tours of this very gorgeous apiary, giving you lots of opportunity to explore the fascinating world of beekeeping. You may find Stacy and her bees in a picturesque area in the East Anglian countryside close to Bungay in Suffolk. Amidst farms, fields, and flower meadows, it is a serene location ideal for pollen-seeking worker bees trying to win over their Queen. Stacy will greet you warmly and outfit you with complete beekeeping gear before you walk over to the hives. There is so much to discover about bees that is fascinating. How is honey truly produced? Where do they go during Wintertime? Why do bees produce wax? You will receive answers to all of these questions and many more. Go beekeeping with a partner of your choosing along the Norfolk/Suffolk border and get to know the bees and their human helper Stacy!
