Exploring Our Hives, One Frame at a Time

Guided by an experienced beekeeper, you’ll see the hive as few ever do — frame by frame. Watch the foragers at work, the brood being cared for, and maybe even spot the queen. By the end, you’ll see why beekeepers can’t help but fall in love with their bees.

Suit Up

We’ll fit you with a professional beekeeping suit that keeps you protected while giving you the freedom to move, observe, and confidently immerse yourself in our apiary.

Meet the Bees

At the hives, you’ll see bees gathering nectar, nurturing the young, and sustaining the colony as our beekeepers highlight the queen, workers, and drones and explain the role each plays in hive life.

Enjoy The Honey

We’ll end our time in the apiary with a taste of honey fresh from the comb, where you’ll discover how the flavors shift with the seasons and blossoms and savor the unique sweetness of our hives.

Beekeeping Experiences for Groups & Organizations

Our beekeeping experiences are a good fit for groups that want something unique and meaningful. They’re designed with business teams, educational programs, and special events in mind — giving each a hands-on way to learn, connect, and walk away with a story worth sharing.

Business Retreats in the Bee Yard

Spending time in the bee yard is a change of pace from the office. The hive is a great example of teamwork in action — every bee has a role, and together they get the job done. It’s a hands-on way for teams to connect, recharge, and come back with a fresh perspective.

Private Beekeeping Tours & Group Outings

An afternoon with the bees is something different from the usual gathering. Guests suit up, step into the bee yard, and discover a world most people never get to see. It’s a unique way to share time together and walk away with a story worth telling.

Beekeeping Workshops for Schools & Groups

A visit to the apiary brings the science of pollinators to life. Seeing the hive up close makes classroom lessons real, showing how bees support ecosystems and agriculture in ways that matter every day. It’s an experience that’s memorable, engaging, and eye-opening.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear?

We recommend light, comfortable clothing that covers your arms and legs. Closed-toe shoes are a must. We’ll provide you with a professional beekeeper suit and protective gear.

Most sessions run about 2 hours, including a short introduction, time at the hives, and Q&A.

While we take every precaution, there is always a small chance of a sting when working with bees. The suits greatly reduce the risk, and our hives are carefully maintained for gentle handling.

For safety reasons, we don’t recommend this experience for anyone with severe bee sting allergies. Please consult your doctor before booking if you’re unsure.
