Honey Hive

Next Previous (Up)

On the way back from the Hidden Valley we stopped for lunch at this place which specialises in honey products. There were beehives set up behind glass inside the building where you could watch bees work, and an interesting video on the life of bees.

Did you know that worker bees only live 6 weeks and pass through a number of different jobs during that time as they get older? Their final job is gathering nectar, but they do about 5 others before that.
