Come and join the happy bees of Higher Kellacott on these relaxed and friendly beekeeping experiences in Devon! Spend a couple of hours on a Sunday in spring or summer learning all about the bees on this picturesque smallholding near Dartmoor. Your hosts, Georgina and David, along with their dogs, sheep, lambs, hens, and geese, love life on their three-acre farm. From its elevated position, the views from their 17th-century cob farmhouse across the Devonshire countryside are absolutely captivating. The apiary, located behind the house in the top field, is where the busy bees buzz in and out of their hives all day long. With fields and wildflowers all around, these bees are living their best lives, even if the life of a worker bee is pretty intense! Get ready to be amazed by literally lifting the lid on beekeeping by putting on your wellies and protective gear. All those questions you've had about bees will be answered. With good humour, enthusiasm, and a love for the outdoors, David and Georgina will have you enthralled during your visit to their Devonshire farm. Trust us, there's a lot more to beekeeping than setting up a hive and waiting to see what happens - it's utterly fascinating. No beekeeping experience in delightful Devon would be complete without a tasting session. Try the freshly produced honey with all the floral flavours of the land.
