Our Open Days
Each year, on the second Saturday in July, we hold our Open Day from 11-00am to
4-00pm. Everyone is welcome, especially families, and admission and car parking are free.
In addition to accessing a wide range of information about honey bees, pollination, bee mythology and our activities, you can safely watch live bees at work in our observation hive and explore the inside of a bee hive (without bees)!
