** 8th June 2025 - 12pm**

Herd & Hive Beekeeping Experience – Step Inside the World of the Honeybee!

Come and join us at our apiary, at Canalside Cafe kildwick, set in the stunning Yorkshire Dales near Skipton, for an unforgettable, hands-on beekeeping adventure!

What to Expect:

Get suited up and step into the fascinating world of the honeybee. We’ll take you inside a live hive buzzing with over 50,000 bees, showing you how the colony works together, how they make honey, and even help you spot the queen. You’ll also learn how to handle a smoker – just like a real beekeeper! This experience is not just about observing; it’s about truly immersing yourself in the magic of beekeeping.

You’ll create lasting memories, snap some incredible photos, and best of all, take home a jar of pure Yorkshire Herd & Hive honey as a sweet souvenir. Plus, you’ll receive a 10% discount voucher for the Canalside Café to round off your day perfectly.
