Details & Important Info

Additional Experience Details & Important Information

What's included

  • Protective gear
  • 1 pour of hard cider

What to bring:

We will have an assortment of protective gear for all of you. You will see that the bees are incredibly gentle and docile, but better for everyone to enjoy their time and not feel worried about getting stung! Additionally, please adhere to the the below guidelines:

  • Closed-toe shoes that cover the ankle are REQUIRED.
  • Wear long pants and a long sleeve top. Khakis, cargos, or blue jeans are fine. Try to stick to lighter colors on top - button downs work great!
  • Choose clothing that is loose fitting -- nothing especially tight! (Black yoga pants are NOT a good attire choice.)
  • Refrain from materials that are 'fuzzy' or made from sweater type materials.
  • Please refrain from any perfumes or heavily scented lotions -- the bees are not fans of our smells :)
  • Bring your mask, as you will be required to wear indoors or if you are within 6 feet of other people.

Things to know:

  • Ensure you arrive a few minutes before your start time to sign waivers and get signed in. Particularly for evening tours, it is important that we start promptly on time so that we finish the tour before sunset.
  • Tours are weather dependent, so if the forecast calls for rain or temperatures below 65 degrees, please watch your email 24-48 hours before in case we need to cancel/reschedule.
  • We are adhering to COVID-19 recommendations and will ensure social distancing on all tours. You must wear a mask whenever you are indoors or within 6 feet of folks not in your party.
  • Gratuity is not included in the price, and is always welcomed by your guide.
