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!

Amazing experience!!
Very informative and interesting.
Had private introduction for two and was by far best Christmas present I’ve had.
Stacy was a great at showing us the hives, teaching how bees live and making the experience fun.
A must do for nature lovers.

Stacy was most welcoming and during the event her approach was not to talk down on you but was to involve you in sharing her passion for the bees. A lot of information about bees was given to us so that we could understand what goes on in a hive. On the day of the event, whilst a smoker was to hand it was not really required but was used to demonstrate the bees reaction to being 'puffed' by the smoke. No-one was stung and the 2 hives examined contained very un-stressed bees. We were shown how to remove frames carefully and were encouraged to perform it for ourselves. In one hive we identified the queen bee, which didn't seem to be present in the other. Honey tasting at the end showed how different flavours had been imparted to each jar of honey depending on which flowers the nectar mainly came from. It was really outstanding to have been there.

This was a wonderful experience, just as I expected but far more too. After a great welcome and introduction I put on my first ever beekeeper's suit and hat! Being able to hold the trays of honeycomb was fantastic and witness the queen bee at work close up. The whole atmosphere was very tranquil, the gentle constant buzz of bees in the background was part of a greater understanding and insight into their world which is so important to ours.
