“It was a very interesting trip, where we learned about different types of bees and how they pollinate flowers. A glass hive showed the bees working and Arthur told us how the Hurling Liam McCarthy cup has its origins in the Mead four handled cup from centuries ago, based on the well respected honey of course. My favourite part was where they showed us how they make the candles from bees wax using different moulds. Most of the work is complete by the females bees an interesting statistic!

We were shown how the bees work in a safe environment through glass in a hive with possibly 30,000 bees at work. I would recommend people visit this fabulous interpretative centre and any budding bee farmers Bernie is certainly the go to contact to get you up and running. A brilliant day!  Thanks!”
