WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Beth 2026

We visited the farm for a bee keeping experience and had a fab time. James and Jade were so welcoming and knowledgeable and provided helpful directions to their farm (which is down a long farm track so be prepared). We left buzzing (get it!) with information about the bees, had a fantastic opportunity get suited up and up close and personal with them and tried some delicious honey and honey-treats. Would highly recommend. Such a lovely setting too in the Gower to make a day of it.

Suzanne 2026

I had such a lovely time at the Bee Keeping course at Walterstone Farm with James and Jade. The talk we had beforehand was super informative and I learned so much about honey bees that I never knew before. The course was amazing and I really encourage everyone to give it a try. James took loads of photos and shared them on a WhatsApp group. You get to get up and close with the bees plus trying different kinds of honey and honey straight from the hive. The honey cake was very tasty as well. Thank you for the jar of honey, it was lovely x 💖 💕

Dan and Anneka 2026

From the outset, James and Jade were friendly and approachable. A wealth of knowledge was presented in an easily understand talk which had me listening to every word - a far cry from my Uni days trying not to fall asleep in lectures. Then we all suited up and were taken to the bees and James and Jade made sure we felt safe at all times. The bee keeping experience was absolutely incredible and the icing on the cake was a jar of their fabulous honey to take home. I very highly recommend the bee keeping experience - 5 stars isn't enough.
