- Create a personalized honey label featuring a photo of you, on the jar of fresh honey you take home with you.
An educational and entertaining combination of our Spin-Your-Own Honey Tour and our Bee-a-Beekeeper tour.
The best of both experiences in a single end to end journey discovering how honey is made. From a flower into a beehive, from a beehive and into your very own jar.
Join an experienced Beekeeper to open and work a busy active hive, including passing around frames covered in 1000’s of busy bees for you to hold. Learn how these social insects thrive within a Langstroth hive - we will discuss and discover workers, drones, brood, honey comb, propolis, beeswax, royal jelly and if lucky, the Queen Bee herself.
Then we take a frame of fresh honey, and show you how to uncap, spin, filter and bottle it yourself - this includes a personalized honey label featuring a photo of you, on the jar of fresh honey you take home with you.

We will supply you a full length Bee Suit and Leather Gloves.
You must bring closed toe shoes with socks.
Camera’s welcome.
If it’s a hot Summer day, please dress lightly as you are essentially wearing overalls, if you can dress in shorts and a t-shirt that would be ideal.

Great experience and informative
Very informative and a fun activity for the whole family. Nick was knowledgeable, very friendly and patiently answered all our questions. We learnt a lot about beekeeping and we all had a wonderful time during the whole session. Honey was so delicious and each of us was given a small bottle of honey that we collected ourselves. It was a great experience. Highly recommend to others.

Hands on fun
This workshop was so informative. All questions were welcome. The amount of everything we did hands on was well worth the price.

Very personal!
Nick really took the time to give me a great experience, answering lots of questions and altering the "plan" with a custom, hands on tour as it was too cold to open up the hives the day I went. This is a very homey, local experience - it's not a polished "tour-bus" visit. Expect to get your hands sticky and to taste a lot of different honey! The shop has an amazing variety of honeys and they are much less expensive than if you were buying them in town.
