Planned Visits

A tour of Thorne’s – Beehive specialist

Rand, Nr Wragby, Mkt Rasen LN8 5NJ

Tuesday 30 September

Thorne’s have been making Beehives for over a hundred years. They are one of the largest manufacturers in the world.

We will see how the bee hives are made, other equipment such as smokers, clothing and of course candles from beeswax. We will learn all about their adoption of sustainability/environmentally friendly practices.

We will also see (and squeeze  into!) the tiny Museum which is the original shed where the business started.

Arrive 10am

Tour 10.30

Lunch 12.30

The tour is free; all they ask is that we have lunch in their highly recommended excellent café;
