Description
Discover the fascinating world of bees in this immersive and interactive COMBO Beekeeping and Honey Spinning Experience. Guided by a passionate beekeeper, you'll begin by donning a protective suit and heading into the apiary for a firsthand look at a working beehive. Learn how hives operate, spot the queen bee, observe the colony in action, and discover the critical role bees play in our ecosystem.
After your hive inspection, head indoors for the honey spinning session. You’ll get to uncap the honeycomb and use a manual or electric extractor to spin fresh, golden honey right out of the frames. Taste the difference with a honey sampling session, where you’ll try your own freshly harvested honey alongside other local varieties.
This unique experience combines education, sustainability, and hands-on fun—ideal for families, nature lovers, and anyone curious about beekeeping or honey production. You’ll leave with newfound appreciation for bees, plus a sweet souvenir to take home!
