Wearing a protective veil, step into the shoes of a beekeeper and enter the fascinating world of a beehive… a golden treasure lies hidden inside! Anna will introduce you to the hive’s structure, the life of bees, their roles, and the steps involved in producing delicious honey that you’ll have the pleasure of tasting. During this exploration, you’ll be introduced to the characters in this sweet saga: bees, flowers, as well as drones and other pollinators. You’ll learn how the beekeeper raises and cares for the colonies.
