The venue was easy to locate and access. Facilities were more than adequate with drinks provided and honey tasting at the end. The protection equipment provided was clean and new and handling the bees was an amazing experience. No bee stings for anyone. We would recommend this course to anyone interested in bees and or beekeeping. It was so well worth while to understand the process and to get a little closer to nature. Despite the inclement weather it was a very informative and happy day. Thank you to Darryn and his family a very worthwhile experience.
