Lloguers vacacionals a Dan River

After your initial arrival and parking you will then be greeted by me (Kamal Bell). After our introduction you will be given a brief history on the founding of Sankofa Farms. Once completed you will be fitted for a beekeeping suit and introduced to all of the equipment you will need to start you own hive! Once the review is complete we will travel to our apiary on site and you will be given a hands on experience in our hives. This session will comprise of how to inspect a beehive, how to properly use beekeeping equipment , and how to spot your queen Bee! Other things to note Once you arrive to our location you will travel down a gravel road. At the end of the road make a left turn toward a our red barn and I will greet you once you arrive!

We will start with an introduction to honeybees, beekeeping, and honey processing. We will observe the honeybees landing and flying out out of the hives. You will be able to see the equipment used in each phase of beekeeping and honey processing. To ensure all guests can experience the bee yard without worrying too much about stings, we will live stream to an outdoor screen, located in the shade, about 25 feet from the hive entrances. You will observe a hive inspection, and will be able to witness the bees work close-up with our observation hives. We will conclude the bee yard experience with a Q & A session and good conversation. If you would like to try on a bee suit and take pictures, we will have suits on hand. Please keep in mind, we can only open the hives on warm days when it is not raining. Other things to note Fragrances can cause the bees to become agitated. Although not required, wearing a long sleeve shirt, pants, and closed shoes is a good idea. The likelihood of getting stung is low, but possible.

We will meet at the launch point an hour 1/2 before sunset. This will give us time to go over all guidelines and equipment. We will enter the water for a leisurely paddle keeping an eye out for wildlife including bald eagles. Once the sun has set we will continue to paddle on the calm and quiet night time water for about 30 minutes. Total time on water is 1.5 hours. Want to do a different date? No problem! Just send me a message and I will setup an experience on the date that works best for you! Other things to note Getting wet is a possibility. Wear shoes and clothes you don't mind getting wet. Sunglasses are highly recommended. 2 guest minimum. Trips are pending weather. If cancelled due to weather or not enough guests a refund will be issued

This experience is great for those who traveled long hours especially across the ocean or country. It will help to feel more grounded and recover from jet lag quickly. It is also great for stress relief and emotional balance restoration. Or if you want to experience something new and unique and need to connect to your Self on deep level this is for you! We start with a short guided meditation which helps you start to feel comfortable and more relaxed. You will be sitting in chair or laying down on yoga mat whatever is more comfortable for you. Feel free to bring your own yoga mat, but I do have extras. Then you will be surrounded by sound of six gongs. After few minutes you will enter a meditative state and your own inner experience. The sound of gong penetrates, cleans, invigorates, rejuvenates, and connects you to your soul, your highest infinite self. Discover what will be yours. There will be time after the session to allow you to slowly come back to the present moment and fully awaken. Other things to note If you are allergic to cat consider to take your medicine. I have a cat who usually does not bother, but sometimes comes to check out after session.
