Apiary Visit for 2
Ready to learn more about the endlessly fascinating honey bee? Join us in the apiary for a hands-on look into a colony of honey bees. We provide you with beekeeping safety equipment and detailed information on what to wear and how to be safe in the apiary, and then we'll give you a truly memorable experience tailored to your own personal comfort level and interests.
No two apiary visits are alike, but during your visit you can expect to see up-close inside a honey bee hive and experience many of the components of a beekeeper's hive inspection. We'll expect to see worker bees, drones, brood, the colony’s food stores (it's not just honey in there!), possibly the queen, and fascinating behaviors like the "waggle dance". You'll learn about honey bees and apiary management as we go. Beekeepers love to talk about bees, so come with questions!
At the end of the experience, we’ll send you home with a complementary jar of this season’s honey and a few new stories to tell over dinner.
An apiary visits last approximate 1 hour and includes up to 2 people (you're going to want to share this with someone). Kids, 6 years and older, are welcome but must be accompanied by a responsible parent or guardian.

Flight of Honey
For a limited period each year, Little Wren Farm offers this unique sampler of early, mid- and late-season raw, wildflower honey. Honey varies dramatically in appearance and flavor from season to season. These differences are influenced by many variables including the weather and changing nectar sources. People are often fascinated to discover the distinct differences and that they have a strong preference for honey from one season or another.
Included in this sampler are four, 5-ounce jars of honey (apple not included!). Each jar contains an early, mid, or late season honey and is labeled with the month it was harvested; the specific months may vary from year to year depending on variables that influence the bees' activities. We also include a card with some suggestions for enjoying your sampler.
See the Description section below for a bit more information about the different honeys in this sampler.
