What people are saying:

Beekeeper Mandy is AMAZING!
You can tell she is passionate about bees and everything they do and represent. Her approach of enthusiasm, friendliness, intelligence, and kindness is fantastic.
Highly recommend to people of all ages! - Suzanne

I took 3 grandkids, ages 5, 8 and 10 to do an apiary tour with Amanda. I credit her disarming style with getting all 3 to suit up to do the tour, as the two younger kids were a bit nervous about participating when we arrived. She made sure everyone was safely covered and prepared. Her experience and love of her work was apparent as she described what we were looking at as she judiciously took each frame from the hive to show us the inner workings. It was an memorable experience for all of us. But that wasn't all, because next she walked us to the barn to taste the luscious honey. We tasted two. Both were delicious, but because the Spring 2025 crop was otherworldly with its fruity and floral tones, we had to take some home. - Tonia

I brought my 3 year old daughter for a close up bee tour since she has been very interested in bees. Mandy was fantastic and so kind! She is so great with kids and so knowledgeable! I would highly recommend this tour, especially for kids to learn about important bees are and how to respect and protect them. This is such a unique and intimate experience with amazing colonies of honeybees.- Ashley

We had a wonderful experience with Mandy and her bees! We learned so much and she took the time to go through so many frames in the beehive- pointing out bee stages, different jobs bees do, their behaviors, and we even found the queen. It was fun to taste two very different honeys at the end. I highly recommend Mandy's tour! - Lorinda

Amazing tour! My son is in first grade and loves bees, and this was absolutely the PERFECT place to take him. Mandy was very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. I was apprehensive about the bee suits fitting my little one, but Mandy was prepared with bee suits in all sizes! Overall, this was a fantastic experience, my son was happy, and so was I. Highly recommended!- Adam
