Step into the fascinating world of honeybees with the Honeybee Centre. Your visit begins with a buzz-worthy intro to honeybees and a glimpse into the sweet story of how the Honeybee Centre came to be.
The experience changes with the seasons, and that's part of what makes it special. In spring and summer, you'll suit up and join a live hive tour led by an expert beekeeper — getting closer to a working hive than most people ever will. In fall and winter, you'll roll up your sleeves for a beeswax candle-making workshop, guided by the same depth of knowledge and passion.
Either way, you'll leave with a real understanding of how honeybees communicate, how pollination sustains our food supply, and why protecting bee habitats matters. Finish with a complimentary tasting of local honeys — and take your handmade candle home.
