How can we help?
Q: Will I get stung?
It is always a possibility whilst beekeeping, however, I will do everything I can to minimise the risk!
Q: What happens if it rains?
Beekeeping in the rain is not really a great idea (the bees get cross) so if the forecast is rain we will need to rearrange.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: No cancellations, but free to reschedule up until 7 days before the event
Q: How long does the class run for, and what's the price?
A: 2 hours, £75 per guest
