Ready to learn more about the endlessly fascinating honey bee? Join us in the apiary for a hands-on look into a colony of honey bees. We provide you with beekeeping safety equipment and detailed information on what to wear and how to be safe in the apiary, and then we’ll give you a truly memorable experience tailored to your own personal comfort level and interests.
No two apiary visits are alike, but during your visit you can expect to see up-close inside a honey bee hive and experience many of the components of a beekeeper’s hive inspection. We’ll expect to see worker bees, drones, brood, the colony’s food stores (it’s not just honey in there!), possibly the queen, and fascinating behaviors like the “waggle dance”. You’ll learn about honey bees and apiary management as we go. Beekeepers love to talk about bees, so come with questions!
At the end of the experience, we’ll send you home with a complementary jar of this season’s honey and a few new stories to tell over dinner.
An apiary visits last approximate 1 hour and includes up to 2 people (you’re going to want to share this with someone). Kids, 6 years and older, are welcome but must be accompanied by a responsible parent or guardian.
