Rural Beekeeping and Honey Craft Beer Tasting for Two

Your 2 hour session will be divided into an hour of beekeeping and an hour of honey beer and honey tasting. Your session begins with a short introduction to bees and beekeeping, the equipment and tools commonly used, and a first glimpse inside the hive.

You’ll then get suited and booted, ready to inspect one of the hives and help out with handling the frames and checking the health of the hive. Afterwards, you’ll relax over a tutored honey beers and food matching session.
