Hands-On Honey Tour

Itinerary

Arriving at Apiarista we warmly welcome you with the drink of your choice and then you can start making your way towards our bee boma, where you will meet the tour guide. A brief introduction about the farm and what we will be doing will be explained. Then we will get onto the basic info session about the bees and their beehive. After the info session it is time to dress-up. This is fun and a real highlight for our visitors where the excitement starts to build up. After everyone is dressed up we light the smoker and take a short (300m) walk to the hives. Arriving at the hives with all the tools you will need, the tour guide explains and demonstrates the basics. Now it is time for you to crack open the beehive yourself surrounded by sometimes more than 50 thousand bees while you look for some sweet honey to harvest. After you find your sweet frame of treasure the tour guide takes you aside where you will as a group take the honey out from the frames and squeeze it into a big jar to take home. Back at the boma you will undress again and the tour guide will finish off the tour.
