Urban Beekeeping and Honey Craft Beer Tasting for Two
About this experience
Enter the Hiver Experience: discover the secrets of urban beekeeping in the heart of London and follow up with a tutored honey beer and food matching session with Hiver Beers. After learning a bit about beekeeping in the city, you’ll be ready to inspect the hive with the resident beekeeper. Don your bee suits, get up close and channel your inner beekeeper as you each learn how to work with beekeeping tools to check the health of the hive.
Once you’ve got to grips with the process, there’ll be time to relax over a tutored honey beers and food matching session. Honey beer remains a largely undiscovered phenomenon, but you’ll learn all about it, getting to taste an ale and a lager, as well as the honeys used in the brewing process and some of the beer ingredients.
Whether you’re bee enthusiasts, beer enthusiasts, or a bit of both, this Urban Beekeeping and Honey Craft Beer Tasting for Two promises to be an unforgettable day out.

“Great Experience”
If like me, you are interested in Gardening and looking after the enviroment, then you will love this day. Its fascinating being able to get up close with the Bee's and watch their busy lives in the hive. It also highlights the amount of enemies they have in the form of Wasps, Hornets and parasites. It was lovely to then sit down and enjoy tasting some Honey Beers from the local brewery in Bermondsey.

“Great Experience ”
Didn’t really know what to expect but in a floral haven of Kennington we were treated to a very unique experience . Very well organised the first part was an interesting & enlightening talk about Bees followed by an inspection of the hives where we were able to observe Bee-life .The second part was a combination of Honey & Hiver Beer tasting with really fun & informative instruction.
“Bee happy”
We had a very enjoyable and informtive day. Excellent presentation, freindly and lively hosts (including the bees), smiles all round. Thoroughly recommended for a fresh, new experience in town.
