'Unveil the Hive' An Immersive Beekeeping Experience

Bookings Essential. 

Experiences are 2 hours and are held by appointment only to ensure they are intimate and personalised. Minimum of 2 people, maximum of 6 people per group/booking. Prices are per person. 

Have you ever wondered what goes on inside a buzzing, thriving honeybee colony? Skip the textbooks and step right into the apiary. Our hands-on 2 hour Beekeeping Experience invites you to suit up, light the smoker, and look directly into the golden, secret world of the hive alongside Mike, our resident beekeeper.

Whether you are a curious nature lover, an aspiring backyard keeper, or looking for an unforgettable weekend adventure, this is your chance to overcome the fear and discover the magic of bees safely.

Your experience breakdown

Welcome & Hive Briefing - Sip a refreshing, seasonal honey-infused beverage while we explore the incredible dynamics of the colony. We will get you completely suited up in professional protective gear and run through a comprehensive safety briefing.

The Art of Smoke - Learn the traditional method of lighting a bee smoker using raw, natural materials. Discover how smoke naturally calms the hive, and practice puffing the smoker yourself before we step into the apiary.

The Deep Hive Inspection - The main event. Together, we will gently open a bustling hive. You will hold frames heavy with fresh honey, identify pollen stores, spot developing larvae, and hunt for the elusive Queen Bee. Keep your phone handy (this is the ultimate photo opportunity). You will at this point harvest fresh Honey Comb to take home with you. 

Finally, Gourmet Honey, Cheese and Wine Pairings - Step out of the suits and give your senses a treat. We will host a curated tasting of our seasonal single-origin harvests paired with local artisan cheeses/produce and a bottle of local sparkling wine. Discover how local blossoms completely transform the colour, texture, and flavour profile of raw honey.

Note: As we are a bee first apiary, our Beekeeping Experience is weather dependent. We will advise you as soon as possible if your experience will need to be rescheduled.
