Fantastic experience

I had a fantastic time doing an hour session. I've never been near a bee hive and am considering setting up a bee club at my school. I wanted to understand what bee keeping involved and whether I could be near them. Wayne was so friendly and let me ask loads of questions. We opened two hives and inspected them, this included seeing bee eggs and finding the queen. Afterwards we tasted honey straight from a honey frames and it was the best honey I've ever tasted. It was a lovely relaxing afternoon and I highly recommend Draigwen Honey.
