PLEASE NOTE: The beehives are located in the ‘Mediterranean woodland’ and the bees provide delicious honey which will be available in the shop from mid-July.
We ask all our visitors – particularly those with young children – to take great care when near the hives. If you suffer a severe reaction due to an insect sting, please tell a member of staff in the office who will call the emergency medical services.
