Amazing and unforgettable experience!!! Host was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic, and fun. The class was interesting and interactive, and host was clearly dedicated to sharing his extensive expertise while being engaging and approachable. We had so much fun with our small group and learned a lot. The honey tasting experience at the end was just the icing on the cake, with a surprising amount of different combinations and infusions that were absolutely delicious. It was fascinating to see how gentle the bees were, and with the protective gear provided, we had the best time! We were also given high quality photos taken by the host during a few key moments of the experience that were shared with us immediately afterwards. If you are looking for a unique, educational, and fun experience for yourself or as a gift for a loved one, you should book this experience! We would 100% recommend this to anyone of any age!

I recently had the pleasure of attending a bee keeping experience hosted by Ben for the second time, and it was just as wonderful as I remembered! From the moment we arrived, Ben's passion for these incredible creatures was evident. He took the time to educate us about bee behavior, hive dynamics, and the crucial role bees play in our ecosystem. His knowledge was both impressive and inspiring, making the experience not just fun, but also enlightening. Safety was clearly a top priority for Ben, and he ensured that both us and the bees were well-protected throughout the entire experience. He provided us with quality protective gear and guided us step-by-step through the process of interacting with the hives. It was reassuring to know that we were in such capable hands, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience. The highlight for us was definitely the honey tasting! Ben presented a variety of honey samples, each with its
