Your journey begins as you join an expert beekeeper to open and inspect a thriving hive. You’ll get an up-close view of the hive’s inner workings—spotting honey stores, brood chambers, pollen supplies, and, with a bit of luck, the queen bee herself! Everything is explained in detail, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions along the way. Then, it’s your turn to become a beekeeper. Under supervision, you’ll suit up and open a hive, getting up close to the colony and conducting your own inspection. You’ll assess the hive’s health and see first-hand how these amazing insects work together. After all the hive action, you’ll relax with a picnic lunch or afternoon tea featuring delicious local Sussex produce. It’s the perfect time to reflect on what you’ve seen, learned, and experienced.
