Part of Spring Into Action (3-19 April 2026), two weeks of free, nature-themed events and opportunities to be active, creative and celebrate the return of Baltic's beloved wild residents and Spring in all its glory.

Find out more about Baltic's resident honeybees and the crucial role bees play in our ecosystems in this free tour with Baltic Crew.

Discover facts about our resident rooftop colony and gain a deeper appreciation for the natural world. There’ll even be the chance to taste some honey from the rooftop hives.

The tours are informal and Baltic Crew share great insight into our rooftop lodgers.

Bee Tours are part of Birds, Bees, Bikes & Trees, a three-year partnership between Baltic, North East Young Dads & Lads (NEYDL) and Newcastle University , funded by The National Lottery Community Fund.
