What Can I Expect
Learn all about beekeeping in Sheffield on these half and full-day courses! Spent time with the busy bees at this honey farm and literally lift the lid on the life and work of a honey bee.
Hosted by beekeeper Dave who heads up this family-run business, you'll discover lots about bees and honey. From the bee basics of how colonies work, their life cycle and how you harvest honey, to a day in the life of a beekeeper, you'll be shown it all on these fun and interactive beekeeper experience days.
The team looks after over 400 hives around the Sheffield and Rotherham area, all producing delicious honey and beeswax that are transformed into award-winning products. From beard wax and hand-dipped candles, to raw natural honeycomb and traditional jars of lovely, runny honey, it really is food for the body and soul!
As you can imagine, Dave and family love their bees here in this corner of the countryside near Sheffield. A very active breeding program of very hardy and resilient bees is in place to ensure the pollination and population continues to grow - because, quite simply, bees are great for the environment.
And they are certainly happy bees on this Sheffield honey farm. And being around them will make you happy too. Of course, it's completely normal to feel a little apprehensive at the start, but you'll soon relax. And before you know it, you'll be inspecting the frames and trying to spot Queen bees.
Relaxing, entertaining (Dave has all the bee banter!) and utterly fascinating, we think you'll love these half and full-day courses in beekeeping in Sheffield.
