This nonprofit organisation is dedicated to encouraging people to take up beekeeping. Its corner of the Bodnant Welsh Food complex has interesting displays about the plight of the honey bee, a live hive-cam and lots of bee-produced products to sample and purchase. In warm weather it runs apiary tours (minimum two people) and offers beekeeping courses (from £60).
