wonders of beekeeping firsthand.

 

 Imagine yourself surrounded by the gentle hum of bees, the sweet scent of honey, and the vibrant colours of blooming flowers. This unique experience will not only provide you with a deeper understanding of these incredible creatures but also allow you to actively participate in the art of beekeeping.

 

 LWF beekeepers James & Jade will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring your safety and providing you with valuable knowledge about the importance of bees in our ecosystem. You will have the opportunity to wear protective gear and get up close and personal with the bees, observing their behaviour and learning about their intricate social structure.

 

 During the day, you will learn how to handle the bees with care and watch how James or Jade inspects a hive. Our beekeepers will share their expertise on topics such as bee biology, hive management, and the challenges facing bees in today's world.

 

 Not only will you gain practical skills, but you will also have the chance to taste the fruits of your

labour. We will indulge in a honey tasting session, where you can savour the unique flavours and

aromas of different types of honey produced by our bees.
