We are willing to show non-beekeepers a little of what happens inside a beehive. We can accommodate both individuals and organised groups. This will involve getting close to bees and handling them if you wish. Protective clothing is supplied, but participants will need to wear sensible clothing and footwear. It is inadvisable for those who are frightened of being stung or are known to suffer from a reaction to bee stings to attend.
Visitors can see the wonders of life in a beehive
What can you learn on a short inspection?
