If you love bees and fancy a lovely morning out, why not come and join me on a bee safari at the fabulous organic gardens near Blagdon in Somerset.
It’s a fabulous chance to not only learn about our amazing wild bees (not honeybees) but to also get to visit this amazing garden. Plus you can finish with lunch at The Cake Hole (and eat more cake).
We start with coffee (or tea) and cake in the amazing Yurt, followed by an illustrated talk about some of our garden bees, focusing on bumblebees and solitary bees as well as the plants that they need to feed on.
There’s a nature table for you to look at some bees and bee nesting materials close up.
Then we take a slow walk around part of the garden looking at the bees feeding in the garden. Depending on the weather we expect to find a few different species of bees. We will look at some of the power plants that really are bee magnets and see the bees in action. Then it’s back to the Yurt for Q&A’s.
The tearoom is open for light lunch, cakes and other delicious treats (not included). And don’t miss the delicious organic ice-cream in the shop!

Praise for my Yeo Valley Bee Safari
“Such an amazing experience. Jean is very knowledgeable & enthusiastic about all varieties of bees. I learnt so much I’ve been on a Bee Keeping experience before which I thoroughly enjoyed, but this was quite a different experience to that one, as this focuses on all types of bees, in their own habitat. So don’t bypass this event, just because you might have been on a Bee course before! This is an informative, interesting, safe & thoroughly enjoyable experience that I highly recommend! LOVED IT” Jayne Townley
“Jean is a fantastic, passionate and engaging host. We learned a lot about bees and the Yeo Valley gardens were absolutely stunning. We also loved the baked goods! Thank you” Rosie Williams
“The talk was informative and delivered by a genuine enthusiast who really knew her stuff. It was a very stimulating and enjoyable experience,” Jennie Colton
“Perfect weather, beautiful location… And the word enthusiastic is not enough to describe Jean ‘the bee expert’. Who knew there was so much to know about bees? I highly recommend this experience, and if you are lucky the gardens may be open to the public, so there could be cake available too.“
“I really enjoyed the Bee safari with Jean. I knew very little about bees before the event but now feel I know more and am fascinated by them. The garden at Yeo Valley was a wonderful setting and I will definitely visit it again. Thanks“
