We will encounter honeybees in the sanctuary by use of an observation hive, which allows us to experience life inside the hive without risk of being stung. Rev Antal will reflect on his journey with honeybees and guide a mindfulness practice engaging all the senses available to us: seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, and tasting.
