The Hiver Experience

Hiver Beers, a craft beer brewed with Honey from urban and rural British beehives is inviting members of the public to enjoy a special mix of beekeeping and beer tasting throughout the summer.

Join us at Bee Urban London and get hands on for the full Hiver Experience.

The session starts with a short introduction to Bees and Beekeeping in the city, the equipment and tools commonly used by Beekeepers as well as a first glimpse inside the hive. We'll then get suited and booted ready for a Hive inspection and the chance to help Hiver's Beekeeper, Barnaby Shaw in handling the frames and checking the health of the Hive. After the fun of getting up close and personal with the 'Ladies', we'll relax over a tutored beer and food matching session before leaving you to explore the rest of Bee Urban and answer any questions. There's a small shop on site and Bee Urban is about a ten minute walk from Kennington Tube station.

Groups are of no more than ten people per session and in the case of really wet weather, we'll focus on inspecting the exhibition hive, working with the Beekeeping tools to build frames and harvesting honey.
