TALKS & EVENTS
BEE TALKS
Book a bee talk with us.
Our talks are done with an observation hive so you can see the workings of a live hive without the fear of getting stung. Talks are done at our farm. The talk takes about 30 – 45 min and finishes with answering questions. Although we love to have children present during our talks, it is best if they are 5 years or older. It is a lot to ask a child younger than 5 to sit still during the duration of the talk. If the talk is done at our farm, after the talk you can shop our store and sample honey if you so desire.
