Going through a live hive is an experience that so many people would love to do but have never had the opportunity to do so. The ambiance and aroma of the hive and honey facility cannot be found anywhere else.

Once the hive is open you will look at the life of the bee, everything from a day old egg through to a bee hatching, observe their honey and pollen collection, endeavor to find the Queen, discuss the unique products that bees create and collect and interact with the bees helping all to realise how important they are and also just how amazing they really are.
