Beekeeper Experience Tours 

Ever driven past beehives in a paddock and wondered what happens inside the beehive? Or maybe while you're enjoying a thick layer of honey on your toast, you've wondered how many bees it took to make it.  Or perhaps you love good food and are keen to know more about bringing it from hive to jar? 

​

Our beekeeping experiences are perfect for you to learn all about Bees. Come along as a group a family-friendly activity that's perfect for all ages. Our group numbers are capped at eight to ensure you enjoy fast-paced, all-you-need-to-know-tour about bees and honey in a 2–3 hour window! What you'll see will vary depending on the season and weather.

​

At a minimum:

  • We will travel to a site close to Mosgiel

  • You can expect to see under the lids of 3 to 4 hives and observe the Bees at Work.

  • We'll try and find the queen bee,

  • Learn about the cycle of the Honey Bee

  • How honey is traced from the hive to the Jar

  • You might even taste raw honey out of the hive

  • Check out the processing house, from extraction to packing

  • And the opportunity to buy packed honey from the hives! 

​​

Our tours are by appointment and leave at 10am, but make sure you book so we have our favourite beekeeper onsite and ready to take you on an adventure. The minimum number is 4, and the maximum is 8.

​

If you have your own transport, this would be an advantage.​

Health & Safety

  • Wearing closed shoes is a must.

  • If you feel anxious around bees, the best advice is to wear an extra layer.

  • You'll be well protected in our bee suits, but long pants and tops will always protect you further, and it's much easier to get into your bee suit in shorts or pants than in a skirt or dress!

  • There's always the chance of getting stung, so if you know you're allergic, please let us know before you head out so we can ensure we've got measures in place to keep you safe.
