A Bee School on the shores of Loch Lomond is helping introduce visitors to the hardest workers in the world.

The Luss-based non-profit school lets guests see the role of bees as pollinators, their importance to the natural world and even tips on starting your own apiary.

And of course they can taste the best raw honey the bees can produce.

Glasgow firm BeeHype Honey has teamed up with The Bee School to offer tasting samples during sessions there, demonstrating the variety of flavours that honey comes in.

Heather Jackson, who founded The Bee School, said she was enthusiastic about the new venture.

She said: "We are thrilled to work with BeeHype and share their exquisite raw honey varieties with our visitors. Together, we aim to educate as many visitors as possible about the significance of bees and the importance of including raw honey in our diets."

BeeHype, which has brands such as Lavish Lavender, Dreamy Creamy Honey and Happy Bee Pollen, will help The Bee School push to ensure a strong future for bees.

There has been a decline in the bee population around the world and Heather saw beekeeping as a fun and accessible activity to also support the number of bees.

Stela Aleksieva, co-founder of BeeHype, said: ”We have always aimed to educate our customers about the importance of bees and the benefits of raw honey, and we believe there should be more initiatives like The Bee School. They help bring invaluable insight into the fascinating world of bees, raw honey and beekeeping."

The Bee School is open year round and run experiences from April to September, including a three-hour "Bee Safari", Children's Summer Bee School and beekeeping weekends.

And there are honey tasting sessions year round.
