In the garden...
  
Beekeeping

  • Always consult with your GP before starting any new form of exercise
  • Note that animals are unpredictable - and they may not always want to be seen or found. We cannot guarantee how close you may or may not get to animals in specific programmes - common sense must prevail.
  • WASH YOUR HANDS after touching animals BEFORE eating or snacking. (It could be a good idea to take some antiseptic wipes or handwash with you, just in case loo facilities don't provide soap.) Do not let children put their fingers into their mouths or suck thumbs after touching animals - it's common sense!
  • The amount of contact you can have with animals varies from one place to another & one animal to another. Common sense must prevail.
  • Before you visit places, check that there are no current regulations/conditions which could mean that they are closed. Also check for opening hours.
  • Take your rubbish home with you, at animals' requests
  • Note our disclaimer - we cannot be held responsible for any injury, damage or otherwise to you or any third party as a result of your taking part in any activities on this site.
  • Note that we do not sell products or provide voluntary opportunities. Any product or service you may purchase is subject to the terms & conditions, disclaimers & policies of the companies selling them. We are simply referring you on & raising your awareness that such opportunities exist
