A Gift That Truly Creates a Buzz 🐝

If you’re searching for a gift that’s thoughtful, memorable and just a little bit different, a Dorset Bee beekeeping experience voucher might be the perfect choice.

Our beekeeping days aren’t just about learning – they’re about slowing down, reconnecting with nature and enjoying one of Dorset’s most fascinating (and friendliest!) creatures. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, Christmas present or simply a “just because”, a Dorset Bee voucher is a gift that keeps on giving.

Choose the Experience That Suits Them Best...

We offer three beautifully crafted beekeeping experiences, each designed to be welcoming, relaxed and inspiring:

🐝 Discover the Buzz!

3-Hour Beekeeping Experience

Perfect for the curious beginner, this gentle introduction allows guests to suit up, meet the bees and discover the magic of the hive. It’s amazing how quickly nerves melt away when guided by a calm, knowledgeable beekeeper and surrounded by beautiful bees.

🐝 Meet the Bees! 1Day Beekeeping Experience

A wonderfully immersive day for anyone keen to learn more. Guests enjoy hands-on hive time, fascinating insights into bee behaviour and seasonal beekeeping, and plenty of opportunity to ask questions. A delicious lunch is included, giving everyone time to relax, chat and soak up the Dorset countryside.

🐝 Beekeeping Accelerator! Two-Day Beekeeping Course

Our most in-depth experience, ideal for those seriously considering keeping bees or wanting a deeper understanding. Spread over two days, this experience allows learning to really settle in, this experience is theory based with observation sessions at the hives, and a practical one day session can be arranged at the hives during beekeeping season.

Small Groups, Personal Attention

All of our experiences are run in small, friendly groups, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and well looked after. There’s no rushing, no feeling lost in a crowd – just genuine, personal tuition from experienced, passionate beekeeperswho love sharing their knowledge.

Friendly Bees & Expert Guidance

Many guests arrive a little unsure about bees, and leave completely enchanted. Our bees are calm and well-managed, and with full protective clothing provided, even first-timers quickly feel at ease. It’s a joy to watch confidence grow as people realise just how gentle and fascinating honeybees can be.

A Gift They’ll Always Remember

Unlike gifts that end up tucked away in a drawer, a Dorset Bee experience creates memories – the hum of the hive, the smell of warm wax, the taste of honey, and the satisfaction of learning something truly special.

If you’re looking for a gift that’s thoughtful, joyful and a little bit magical, a Dorset Bee gift voucher is a lovely way to show someone how much you care.

🐝 Let your gift create a buzz that lasts a lifetime. 🐝
