Beekeeper Experience

Learn what it is like to be a beekeeper as we suit you up and take you into a live hive. Explaining what we look for when inspecting a hive. All the while we talk about the amazing honey bee. When able we also take pictures of your experience and upload them to a  private Google album and share that album with you so you can download the pictures and share them with friends and family.

 

The experience takes roughly 45 min. to an hour. Beekeeper experiences are a minimum of 1 person with a maximum of 6. You must be 8 years or older to participate. Children 8 - 15 must have at least one adult participating with them. The beekeeper experience is weather & temperature dependent. Text 610-401-8317 the morning of your appointment to verify that the experience will still be happening.

Each participant must sign (or their parents or legal guardian) a participation agreement that will be available at the apiary on the day of the tour or if need be, we can email the form to you for prior signatures. This agreement ensures that you or the parent / legal guardian understands the inherent risk around a working bee hive and we will not be held liable for bee stings, allergic reactions or unsafe behavior by participants of your tour as well as our right to refuse a participant a tour if we deem they are acting in a unsafe manner at the apiary and near the bee hives.​
