"Experience the Buzz"

Become a beekeeper for a day!  Tour our bee farm, get suited up, and we’ll show you the ropes.  By the end, you’ll feel confident about beekeeping basics and walk away with a unique experience under your belt.

Our hands-on honey bee farm tours are designed for beginners.  Bring your kids, your spouse, your best friend or a date.  Whether you want to become a beekeeper or just have a unique experience for a day, we’re here to share our knowledge and make it a memorable experience.

Safety First:  Our bees are gentle, but we still take every step to make your beekeeping experience extra safe.  We provide a bee suit and teach you how to move around the hives to stay safe.  All you need to bring is your sense of fun and adventure. 

Hands-on:  We’ll show you how to inspect a colony and give you the opportunity to try it yourself.  Not feeling it – it’s ok just to watch.  We’ll move at a comfortable pace for you.

Basics:  We’ll cover everything from equipment to bee behavior.  Learn how to properly light a smoker, open a hive, inspect for colony health, search for a queen and so on.

Smile!  Be the first of your friends to post a photo of your beekeeping experience!  We’ll take a few photos of you holding a frame or smoker so that you can brag about your beekeeping experience.
