Become A Beekeeper for A Day (Sep 2021 )

During the workshop "Become a Beekeeper for a Day" guests watch two short documentaries on life and importance of bees as well as the threats they face, and a brief discussion follows in the Educational Hall. Guests are then prepared to visit the beehives wearing the whole-body beekeeper’s suit available in all sizes to ensure safety from any bee sting. When visiting a nearby apiary we monitor the working bees at work, we identify the one and only queen of bees and observe their organization and products insight the beehives. Depending on the season, various practical manipulations of the beekeeper are carried out for the inspection of hives such as the control of the parasitic varroa mite, the collection of honeycombs, the collection of propolis, the feeding, etc. After the inspection of the hives is finished, we return to the honey extraction and bottling laboratory where a guided tour and practical use (where possible) of the machines takes place. Finally, visitors will try all batches of honey produced in the last year as well as other beekeeping or processing products such as natural beeswax ointments, soaps with honey, etc.
