Please join me on a Bumblebee Safari at Yeo Valley Organic Gardens in Blagdon, Somerset.
We have just added the dates for my Bumblebee Safaris to the calendar for 2025. Please do join me for an illustrated talk and a bumblebee safari around the gardens. This is a lovely morning event, within a gorgeous and organic garden.
2025 Bumblebee Safaris at Yeo Valley Organic Gardens.
The 2025 year’s dates are:
April 24th 2025
June 14th 2025
July 12th 2025
August 21st 2025
Tickets make the perfect gift for anyone with a love of gardening that wants to learn some more about their garden bees and pollinators. You can book here.
You’ll be greeted with tea and coffee and CAKE in the Yurt, followed by an illustrated introduction to some of our quirky wild bees (not honeybees) followed by Q&A and a bee safari around the gardens.
Your ticket includes entry into these fabulous gardens, so why not make a day of it and go for lunch afterwards and take time to explore these magical gardens. The first date is Thursday April 24th – 2025 – that’s a perfect time to see some Queen bumblebees foraging in the garden. You’ll get the first glimpse of the spring blossom too. It’s magical.
Reviews for my bumblebee safaris at Yeo V
I am very humbled to read the reviews for my Bumblebee Safaris, here are a few from people who have attended previously. Thank you!
Praise for my Yeo Valley Bee Safari
“My husband and I attended the bee safari and loved it. We learned so much about bees and Jean, who hosted us was so knowledgeable and interesting. We loved going round the garden and finding the different types of bees too. I can’t think of a better way to spend a morning. Highly recommend.” Vicky Sleap
“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“
