Craft and Nature Workshops
As the nights draw in and the bees are cuddled together keeping warm in the hive, our attention turns to indoor activities. Join us in our nature-inspired workshops where tranquillity and creativity combine in our serene space.
Sharing our love of bees and nature is a pleasure but getting to run other workshops such as beeswax making and seasonal crafting sessions, is also a joy. Stacy has been trained in floral design and photography, when she started beekeeping she also went on beeswax workshops before producing her own range of products for the home. Now she enjoys sharing her knowledge with others at crafting workshops based out of the training room located in the rural Norfolk countryside.
