Join me for a cycling excursion in Cork City. We'll take full advantage of the parks, riverside pathways, and cycle lanes in the city. I will show you the rich history of the city, some of its beautiful parks, and a few of Cork’s hidden secrets. Sample the rich history of Cork City, stretching from before the Viking era to its present-day bustle. As you cycle through the parks and riverside paths, you will see as much nature as an urban area can support. Cork boasts over 30 bridges and over 20 church spires. See how many you can count as you travel through this beautiful city by the Lee. After this excursion, you will be fully oriented in the city and will know the top bars and restaurants to visit as you continue your stay. Other things to note Wear practical and comfortable clothing. Wear a bright / reflective outer layer.

Our day will begin with a meet-and-greet; where I will run though the safety aspects of beekeeping. Stings are rare when safety is well considered. Now, it's time to get nerdy. We will discuss what happens within the colony, the social structure and the roles each honeybee has to play within the superorganism of the hive. The importance of the honeybee to our own lives; and to the world at large cannot be underestimated. The more that we know, the more that we can do to affect a change. Apiary tour: this is where we watch the bees at work. We find out what plants they are foraging, and why, on that specific day. By now you should be confident enough to get your bee suits on (provided by me of course) and do some beekeeping. With my help, you will be guided through the basic steps involved in a hive inspection. All of what we have learned during the day will be put into practice for what I promise to be an inspiring journey into the world of the Northern European Honeybee, Apis mellifera Mellifera. Other things to note Bees can and do sting from time to time. I need to know if you have an allergy, and how severe it is. Guests must arrange their own transportation. The bus from Cork stops close to the house.
