Our Experiences
Experience the Buzz with Our Beekeeping Tours at Dry Creek Beekeeping
Our guided 1.5 hour beekeeping tours offer a one-of-a-kind, hands-on experience in the heart of Dry Creek Beekeeping. Get up close with live hives and discover the fascinating world of honey bees alongside our expert beekeeper. Whether you're an experienced beekeeper or simply curious about pollinators, this immersive tour is a memorable way to connect with nature and learn how bees support our environment.
Taste the Difference with Our Full-Sensory Honey Tasting Experience
Take a deep dive into the world of raw, artisanal honey with our guided 1.5 hour honey tasting experience. You’ll explore the unique flavors, aromas, and textures of up to eight different honey varietals from across the United States. Learn how bees create such diversity in honey—from floral sources to seasonal changes—in a fun, educational, and delicious setting. These are offered as special events or for private groups.
Bee Serenity Tour
Unplug, Unwind & Bee Still in Nature
Settle into the gentle hum of the apiary, wearing a beekeeping suit as you relax in our sunny, yellow Adirondack chairs, surrounded by nature’s calming presence. Hear about all of the health benefits of being near bees and being among nature from your knowledgeable guide.
Lean in close and watch the bees at work- tiny creatures with a purpose far greater than their size. As you listen to their gentle buzz, feel the breeze on your skin and soak in the worm sunlight, you’ll find yourself slowing down. Their quiet, steady rhythm invites you to breathe deeper, notice more, and marvel at the incredible world unfolding before you.
Your experience concludes inside the honey house with a guided tasting of over 20 honey varieties from around the world, allowing you to savor the diverse flavors honeybees create.
Nature. Bees. Honey. Peace.

This experience is fun to do with friends, family, or groups, as you get to compare your tastes, and it provides an opportunity for lots of interaction as you enjoy a shared experience.
