Introduction
“If the bee disappeared off the surface of
the globe, then man would have only four
years of life left. No more bees, no more
pollination, no more plants, no more animals,
no more man.”
Albert Einstein

Lee of Lincolnshire Honey. Jodie and
Lee are third generation beekeepers

An introduction to bee keeping with Lincolnshire Honey
Spend an afternoon with the bees in the flower field.
The afternoon begins with a talk by Lee about bee keeping. He
will discuss the history, mechanics, species and how to encourage
more bees into your garden. We then take a gentle walk through
the flower field to the hives to spot the queen of the hive and hold
the frames yourself.
The afternoon finishes with refreshments and honey tasting of
different varieties.
