Why We Love This Unique Experience

Port Elizabeth Experience Gifts: Join the experienced beekeepers at the Pabala Private Nature Reserve in Port Elizabeth and see how they extract honey from their intricate hive systems. 

On arrival at the reserve, you'll receive a safety briefing to ensure you’re prepared for proper handling of the bees. From then on, you will be suited up in a full bee suit and guided to the field where you'll inspect their fascinating habitat. The beekeepers on the reserve like to have as little involvement as possible to keep the bees happy and free. Under the guidance of the instructors, you'll get to work on the bee boxes and extract honey, all the while learning about how the insects interact and operate as a hive. After extraction is complete, you’ll head back to the main reception to de-suit and have a honey-based lunch, before finishing the day off at the bottle plant where you'll bottle the honey you collected earlier.

This Full Day Beekeeping Experience near Port Elizabeth is a wonderfully unique activity that could be the start of a fun new hobby, or a thoughtful experience gift idea for special occasions.
