Times: 11:00, 14:00, 16:00
Duration: 1.5 hours

In the Sliabh Aughty mountains within an unspoiled landscape of green meadows, wildflowers and boglands, join the Leahy family who are fourth generation beekeepers. Hear about the integral role of bees in ancient Ireland and their continued importance within the modern world’s ecosystem. Put on a bee-suit to watch a beekeeper at work while gaining insights into a bee’s life. Open a hive marvelling at how the process works. See pollen, larvae and maybe even the Queen! End with a tasting of this precious, 100% raw mountain honey, flavoured only by nature and paired with local artisan foods.

Couldn’t praise nature’s cure enough

I used the honey and lavender cream on my sons ezema and it cleared up within a couple of days, I just apply a small amount once a week and it has prevented it from returning. Couldn’t praise nature’s cure enough.

Fantastic Experience

Myself and a few friends went to Noel’s for the bee tour. It was a fantastic experience for all of us. Noel gave us lots of information about the bees and what may be harming them in the environment. I would highly recommend Noel’s Bee Tours for young and old as it is good to see all the work that it takes to make one jar of honey.

Fantastic Experience for All

We went over to Noel’s for a Bee Tour. It was a fantastic experience for all of us (2 adults, including one with a fear of bees, and a child). Noel answered all of our questions about the bees and the beehives. He gave us very good protective suits that made us feel safe and comfortable around the bees!
