Events at Boringdon Hall

Suit up, go through a hive and learn to read the bees and spot the queen. Here in the UK, May is a busy time for beekeepers who are tending their bees and watching them progress into strong colonies and often bringing in a spring honey crop depending on the weather and forage available. Join Ash, Boringdon Hall's experienced beekeeper, for a two-hour immersive beekeeping experience at their on-site hives. Suit up and step inside a working hive as you learn how to read bee behaviour, understand colony life, and try your hand at spotting the queen. After your hive visit, unwind with a themed afternoon tea served in the Great Hall, inspired by the natural flavours of the season.
