Over the summer months at the farm around Shenanigans Café, Andy Leaman coaxes his bees into producing a long season of flavoursome Sark honey. He is available for meet-the-bees sessions and to talk about the ins and outs of honey production. There’s also a wonderful glass-fronted hive in the Café for a relaxing view of these fascinating little creatures. Get in contact through creativesark@protonmail.com.
