Beekeeping Demonstration - Boconnoc Estate

Join us at Boconnoc to learn from Peter Hunt, the renowned beekeeper of Dartmoor Wild Honey, in our interactive beekeeping experience.

Peter runs the Blackaller Apiary and will lead you on an informative tour of Boconnoc’s beehives.

The session will start in the Stable Yard with an insightful talk, followed by an idyllic tractor-trailer ride through the grounds to the Orchard, where you’ll witness the bees in their hives.

We will provide protective clothing, a honey tasting and refreshments.

• Explore the inner workings of the beehive.
• Try to spot the Queen and see the physical difference between a Drone, Queen and Worker.
• Discover the different duties of each bee.
• Try to identify the different pollens carried into the hives from Boconnoc Estate.

Tuesday 22nd July, Sunday 10th August, Tuesday 19th August. All start 10am.
