Great tour and education on beekeeping 🐝🐝🐝🐝
Beautiful tasting raw natural honey.
A wonderful tour and education on beekeeping and the workings of these amazing little animals. Noel was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The bees and how the hive works is truly a wonder. Noel then showed us how the honey is made ready for market and we also had a tasting of the honeys he produces – which really demonstrated the differences in flavours attainable. Would really recommend the tour and meeting Noel. We were made to feel so welcome and it is clear he has a great love for these little insects and their remarkable work.
Truly wonderful tour, we learned so much and really enjoyed the experience! We also loved the gorgeous honey tasting at the end. Very happy with the lovely honeys, balms and bee pollen we picked up onsite for gifts (and some for ourselves)😊Thank you Noel and family!
The heather honey is delicious 😋 definitely gives a boost to the immune system this time of year, it's lifted the house out of a week's long cough and general run down illnesses.
We went over to Noel's for a Bee Tour. It was a fantastic experience for all of us (2 adults, including one with a fear of bees, and a child). He answered all of our questions about the bees and the beehives. He gave us very good protective suits that made us feel safe and comfortable around the bees and he showed us what happens inside a beehive. It was fascinating and we learnt a lot. We also got to see the equipment used for extracting honey, At the end of our tour we could taste some of the delicious honey made by Noel's bees. We highly recommend visiting this amazing place if you want to experience the wonder of bees firsthand.
