Enjoy a guided tour of one of our beeyards (apiarys) at Bee CARE Institute led by our professional beekeepers. Join us to learn about the Western honeybee with a 30 minute walking tour. Watch the bees scout out, forage for, and bring home the flowery bounty of our sanctuary site. Then put on a bee suit as open a hive and experience 200,000 gentle buzzing honey bees first hand.

Get an introduction to honey bees and learn how and why we do our work as beekeepers; ask questions and get to know our friends the bees first hand!
