"I learnt a lot about honey and have a new appreciation of how to pair it with cheese, which is not something I did much before! I also appreciated the molecular/science notes on honey, it was very interesting. Thanks very much!"

Ruth Jane Salomon reviewed: All about honey - tasting and cheese pairing

"Really enjoyed this workshop. I love honey and was pleased to learn more about it. The great bit was the tasting though. That was fun in itself but pairing with the cheeses was excellent. Brought a new dimension to honey that I hadn't previously experienced."

Andrea Kerns reviewed: All about honey - tasting and cheese pairing

"The parcel of goodies for this workshop was beautifully presented and clearly a lot of thought had gone into its design and preparation. We really enjoyed the workshop and learnt a lot. Before the workshop...honey was just honey... I had never realised that so many different elements contribute to so many different textures, tastes and aromas! Certainly a more interesting lockdown Sunday evening than usual!"

Adam Nortman reviewed: All about honey - tasting and cheese pairing

"This was a valentines gift from my wife. Was an interesting session. Learnt that I dont like runny honey, but prefer cloudy honey. My life has been a lie until now. Did not realise the cheese was for after the honey, so was smashing the cheese in my cake hole as fast as I could during the honey tasting. My bad. The secret in envelope one was superb. Great session, thank you."

Hannah Emerton reviewed: All about honey - tasting and cheese pairing

"A lovely way to spend a Valentines day evening! Really interesting overview of honey making and the way it changes the qualities of the honey. Delicious honey and cheese - not something I would have paired up before but it definitely works. Agnes is a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic teacher who makes the session fun as well as instructive. I learnt loads. Thanks for a great experience."

Rachel Chegwin reviewed: All about honey - tasting and cheese pairing

"This was a birthday present to me from our daughter and we found it a very pleasant and unusual experience. As it turned out, we knew very little about honey or bees and we learned a lot. The kit was very well presented and was a pleasure to use. We had no idea that there are so many different flavours and tastes and we enjoyed sampling some of them. The cheese was a contrast and a completely different tasting experience which just seemed to round off the evening nicely. The time seemed to fly by and we were amazed to discover that two and a half hours had passed so quickly. Many thanks. Rachel and Robert"

David Allen reviewed: All about honey - tasting and cheese pairing

"This proved to be a very enjoyable and informative event. Agnes is very knowledgeable about her subject and delivered it in a very friendly and relaxed way. The pack that we received in the post was well thought out containing 5 different types of honey, 2 large packs of cheese and a packet of biscuits, not to mention all of the other items that we needed for the event. If you are interested in Bees, Good food and good company this is for you."

Pamela Green reviewed: All about honey - tasting and cheese pairing

"From the beautifully designed and presented package which arrived in good time, to the informative and enjoyable evening session, this was one of the best Christmas presents I have received! I was also gifted a beehive last year so am looking forward to produce my own honey this year. I now have a better understanding of the processes involved and really enjoyed the sampling of quite distinct flavours of raw honey. Thank you Agnes."

Carole Gatrell reviewed: All about honey - tasting and cheese pairing

"From the moment I unpacked the parcel from Beesitter, it was obvious that great thought and care had been given to presentation and content of the package. The colour co-ordination and various little touches heightened the anticipation of the workshop, and I was not disappointed. Agnes has not only an excellent knowledge of and enthusiasm for her subject, but she is able to communicate this in an accessible way, making for an interesting and fun evening. My sense of taste obviously has along way to go, but I enjoyed the different honeys and cheeses very much and learnt so much about bees, their habitat and their importance in the world that I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone. Many thanks Agnes, and best wishes for the future. Carole"

David Maruta reviewed: All about honey - tasting and cheese pairing

"Before participating in this brilliant workshop, I knew nothing about bees or how they make honey. Learning about their complex structure, the painstaking work that these beautiful creatures perform in the cycle of life, and the intricate processes involved in the production of honey was truly fascinating. The highlight for me was the honey and cheese tasting, what a delightful treat. I was surprised to learn about the unique flavours of honey that are out there."

Antonia Castellino reviewed: All about honey - tasting and cheese pairing

"An enjoyable experience. This was given to me as a gift by my son. I learned a lot about bees and honey which has made me more appreciative of this wonderful product. I recently bought some raw honey from a local trader and will certainly try some more as it was far superior to the supermarket products. Thank you and I wish you all the best in the future. Antonia"

Thomas Wagner reviewed: All about honey - tasting and cheese pairing

"Hi Agnes, I really had a great time in following your workshop! I learned many new things about the bees, how they make honey among other byproducts and some other fun facts I had no idea about. I equally loved the tasting part which turned out to be as interesting as a wine tasting (I honestly did not expect it could be!) with such a delicious selection of different cheeses and honeys. This experience definitely taught me a lot, thank you! I wish you get to know the success you deserve! Best of luck, Thomas"

Giuliano reviewed: A journey to the centre of the hive

"It was really nice! I definitely feel I walked out of the event knowing so much more about bees and their world! The whole event was delivered in a very engaging but professional way, striking that difficult balance between being accurate without overwhelming with information. The honey tasting part was also very interesting (and yummy!); while I was familiar with some of the possible types of honey, I had no idea there were THAT many."

Clémence Legrand reviewed: A journey to the centre of the hive

"Your workshop was a pleasure, Agnès! You shared your passion very easily and thoroughly; and getting introduced to the bees themselves while looking through the observation hive was amazing. You took us through the whole journey, and from theory to practice. I really enjoyed the interactivity, for the attendants to be able to move, touch, smell, and taste. Thank you!"

"Great workshop! I was impressed by the honey tasting. I am more used to wine tasting and did not know all the 'honey layers' you can discover in honey. I really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and learnt a lot from Agnes. Looking forward to more workshop and maybe a honey and cheese pairing :)"
