BEEKEEPING EXPERIENCE

Join us for a fun and informative glimpse into the world of bees! This 1.5 hour educational experience starts with a walk around the farm where we’ll identify native sources of pollen and nectar, while witnessing bees and other pollinators at work. Then, you’ll put on a beekeeper’s suit and see the inner workings of the hive. Finally, you’ll taste a sample of honey from our bees. We recommend packing a picnic to enjoy on our waterfront property after your experience!
