Meet the Bees – British Bee Charity Open Days
Get up close to the fascinating world of honeybees!
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to stand among thousands of honeybees and see how they live and work together? Now you can find out!
The British Bee Charity invites you to visit one of our apiaries in Surrey for a unique, hands-on experience that brings you closer to the wonderful world of bees.
On arrival, we’ll provide you with a protective bee suit and take you into the apiary, where you’ll have the opportunity to meet our bees up close. You’ll discover how a hive works, learn about the life of a honeybee and find out why bees are so important to our environment.
