I received the Honey Bee Happy as a small present from my husband. The packaging is great and to learn the ethics behind how it is made. Great to have a Facebook page where I am sure there is a bee named after me that I can try and spot buzzing about !
I went on a bee keeping taster session today at Honey Bee Happy and it was brilliant!
Very friendly and accommodating, would certainly recommend to anyone who wants to get into bee keeping, or even if you’re just interested in bees. 🐝 ❤️
Just back from the beekeeping taster session and would highly recommend it. It was relaxed and really informative.
We had a fantastic time with Rachel and David – their enthusiasm is infectious and they are certainly knowledgeable.
The purest and tastiest of raw honeys – it’s so pure you actually get a very subtle flavour of the flower from which the pollen was picked.
(In addition to this it doubles up as a great spot treatment!)
Highly recommend the beekeeping introduction taster session. Great hosts, fascinating information and hands on experience! Both my daughter and I had a great morning. Thank you!
And oh my is the honey good!! 😍
Very friendly & informative, I learnt a lot about Bee’s and there was a lot to take in. Great location & weather, I thoroughly enjoyed my day & would highly recommend booking and learning about these fascinating & essential creatures.
Thank you for a lovely day.

Thank you for an excellent day at “Honey Bee Happy” lovely to meet such passionate people for a “taster” into the world of beekeeping, learnt a lot, and has made me more keen to get a hive for the garden, thoroughly recommend anyone who is considering keeping or just wants to broaden their knowledge on these busy little creatures.
