BEEKEEPING EXPERIENCE
2023 dates now available for purchase.
Jump into a bee suit and experience a day in the life of a beekeeper! Whether you are looking to start your own backyard hive or simply have a fascination with honeybees, after participating in The Valley Hive Beekeeping Experience, you will gain new insights into the amazing life cycle of the honeybee and walk away with a new appreciation of how important these pollinators truly are.
Please Note:
Children over 12 years of age are welcome with an adult. Younger children are permitted on a case-by-case basis. Space is limited. Due to the popularity of this event, dates fill up quickly. There are no refunds for canceled or missed appointments.
Bees are our passion, Education is our goal!
WHEN IS THE BEEKEEPING EXPERIENCE OFFERED?
The Beekeeping Experience is offered Spring thru early Fall. In the winter months, bees are more vulnerable. The size of the colony decreases, and food is harder to find. We do not like to disturb the bees unnecessarily during this critical time. In springtime honeybees flourish and their populations soar. This is the best time of year to see the bees in action.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
The Beekeeping Experience lasts approximately two hours from start to finish. Most classes start at 9am to take advantage of the cooler morning weather. We start with a short information session.
SUIT UP
Wear a bee suit and experience how it feels to be inside an apiary. Open hives with a beekeeper and learn about the extraordinary life of the honeybee. Bring a camera to capture this unique, one-of-a-kind experience.

Our Happy Clients!
These are the Best bees i have ever gotten before, I couldn’t believe the level of experience these guys have. they truly care about the bees.
I learned more in the 4 hour class than I have learned on all the youtube videos combined that I have watched, My favorite part was the queen Grafting course.
I absolutely loved being a Beekeep for a day they gave us so much information, I really liked the nice suits they have, they make you feel extremely safe and they explain everything so your not scared.
