(Your artwork will stay at the bee farm for the bees to enjoy, which means it worn't be able to go home with you.) Also you'll get to dip a little candle into a jug of hot beeswax.

As a family, the Dursts are deeply committed to an environmentally-responsible tradition of beekeeping. We utilize the very best in apiary techniques and management, which allows our hives to be chemical free. We believe that this organic process produces superior honey and beeswax for our candles.  Their website has a great Slide Show of bee frames, healthy bees, honey extraction, honey combs, bee boxes, hot house for bees, bee yards, and more.

Note: Honey bees are usually defensive not aggressive, but we need to be respectful of Nature. We don't stomp around hives like a bear and don't swat at them.

Ages: This activity is designed for kids ages 6 and older.  Kids 8 and younger will need direct adult supervision at all times.

What to wear/bring: Camera, sunscreen, hat, light colored clothing, and water since this tour is all outside.

What NOT to wear: perfumes, lotions and any items with strong scents.

Cost: Free

Tour Limit: 30 people
