Visit The Bee Centre and enter the incredible world of the honeybee. Their Visitor Centre is full of information, displays and activities which provide a fascinating insight into these amazing and important animals and their relationship with humans.
Their stunning, glass observation hive enables you to watch, up close, the fascinating workings of a honeybee hive, whatever the weather or time of year. See the bees bringing nectar and pollen back to the hive, making honey, building honeycomb and doing their ‘waggle dance’. They also regularly see baby bees emerging and the queen laying eggs.
Their friendly, expert staff are always on hand to chat about bees and beekeeping. They also deliver regular talks about what the bees are doing and how they live.
Award-winning Beekeeping Experience
If you are feeling adventurous you can book onto one of their 'Beekeeping Experiences'. These last for approximately 90 minutes. You will receive an introduction to honeybees and beekeeping from one of our experienced beekeepers, after which you will be able to put on one of their beekeeping suits and get 'up close and personal' with their bees. Pre-booking is advised as these are weather dependent and places are limited. For further details or to book direct click here www.thebeecentre.org
Their bee experiences also make a great present for Christmas, birthdays or special events. Gift vouchers can be provided.
