Wearing beekeeper suits we will open the hive in search of the queen bee and observe what nectar they are collecting, how they build the wax, the cycle of their metamorphosis and how they take industrious flight in search of new blooms.
Accompanied by our beekeeper you can get in touch with these fragile pollinating insects, and their vibrant family.
