Service Description

This guided 1.5-hour beekeeping tour offers a one-of-a-kind, hands-on experience in the heart of the hive. The adventure begins in our classroom with participants learning about the roles of bees in the hive, how bees make honey, and much more. You will be amazed by their intelligence and hard work! Next, attendees will enjoy a honey comparison tasting of three types of honey to experience the liquid gold that they produce. Finally, get up close and personal with thousands of live bees (safely protected with a professional beekeeping suit, hood, and gloves) and discover the fascinating world of honeybees 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. Ages 6+. *This tour includes opening of the hive whenever possible. In the fall (September and October), we cannot guarantee that hives will be opened, for the bees' health and safety, but all other portions of the tour remain. Visitors will still suit up and be among thousands of bees and we will observe their behaviors and see them at work outside the hive.
