The feeling of "Itadakimasu"
Participation by adults only The organizers and BeeKeeper were very considerate and made the experience enjoyable. In a word, it was "learning for adults." What does "beekeeping" mean when the job is to harvest honey? This is what I realized from the experience. The food we eat is the result of people receiving the lives of animals that have been killed in some way. How is beekeeping different from the food chain? I think this is an experience tour that adults can participate in and enjoy that goes beyond just food education. (This review has been machine translated)
