Peer into the unseen world of a honeybee colony
Have you ever wondered what goes on inside a beehive? Usually locked away behind the four walls of a brood box, a Spruce Cliff Honey apiary tour opens the lid - literally - on a buzzing langstroth hive and gives you an interpreted explanation of everything that goes on inside.
What does an apiary tour include?
Interpreted explanation of honeybees and their hive
An experienced beekeeper will give you a rundown of a range of subjects, including honeybee biology, colony structure, hive engineering, and what a year in beekeeping looks like. Answers to all your questions are provided on the spot.
Zip on a beekeeping suit
Fashionable and functional, you'll be provided a full-body length beekeeping suit for the hive-visit portion of the tour.
Peer into the hidden world of the bee colony
Your guide will escort you hive-side, and open up the colony right before your eyes. You'll have the opportunity to see bee frames up close, and see honeycomb, resources like pollen and honey, worker bees and drones, eggs, larvae, and possibly even the queen herself!
Have a taste of honey right from the comb
After returning to the indoor area, you'll have the opportunity to have a taste of honey right from the honeycomb - still warm from the bees and the sun. You'll never taste fresher honey in your life!
