Introduction to Bees and Beekeeping

Our Sustainability Academy in partnership with our sister company, Bee1, invites you to discover the fascinating world of bees and experience what it is like to be a beekeeper. 

This half day session includes a relaxed and informative session with our expert beekeeper learning all about the life of a bee, followed by getting suited up to meet the bees! In the second part of the session, you will wear a professional bee -suit and meet the queen and her colony - who will be the first to spot the queen? For the final activity, we will do a honey tasting to compare different types of honey and make seed-bombs to take home to promote pollination and biodiversity!
