This experience was well worth the money, given you have the option to do this either one-to-one, as a couple, or in bigger groups if you wish. It’s a perfect idea as a gift for a birthday, an anniversary - or in our case, a Christmas present - and is an experience myself and my partner will never forget!

From the moment we arrived, Ross’s passion, knowledge and enthusiasm for beekeeping were infectious. He explained everything in a way that was fascinating and easy to understand, whether you’re a complete beginner or already have an interest in bees.

We asked endless questions and always received an answer with examples. My grandaughter was delighted when she was allowed to hold 2 queen's and a handful of bees but the highlight for her was watching a bee being born/emerge.
