Curious about bees?  This in-depth tutorial is perfect for you if you are considering raising bees in your backyard, farm or castle.   We will introduce the basics of beekeeping including the animal itself, the house, and the benefits/ necessities of the Honey Bee.  Also, you will learn about the commerce of beekeeping, including local apiary services, resources, and supplies, as well as medicinal & edible products like honey, propolis, wax, royal jelly....YUM!

*A live hive will be installed during this workshop, so please consider this if you are allergic to bees.  We will also be outdoors.

A word about our very skillful bee expert:

remembering a great friend

We are very deeply saddened to say that last Sunday, March 24th, we lost one of our beloved friends, Lady Shirley.  Whenever she was around, you were sure to see a smile on her face, no matter what; the kind that made you want to smile too.   We appreciate and will always cherish the beautiful artwork she did for us, hanging in the castle ballroom. Shirley is greatly missed by all who knew her.

                                                           Dame Donna and Lady Shirley
