Beehive Experience with The Natural Hive

Small groups and schools with up to 20 children can book a Beehive Experience lasting 1 hour.

Visit one of the Natural Hive Apiary’s, learn the workings of the hive, the difference between workers, drones and the queen, and how bees turn nectar into wonderful honey. (You might even get to taste some)!

You will find out some fascinating facts, including the name of the special dance bees do to tell fellow bees how far and which direction food is from their hive!

This is a truly special experience for children (and accompanying adults), facilitated by the Natural Hive situated within the Farm Park.

You will also need to book your group rate tickets to the farm for the day of your experience via [email protected]

A one hour experience is £40.00 excluding vat.
