Apiary Visit for 2

$80.00

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.

Have some questions first? Drop us a line at the email address on the Contact page of our website.

We’d love to gift wrap this for you! We use all-biodegradable wrapping materials, and we’ll include a blank or personalized card (select below). It doesn’t get much easier to give a great gift!

Optional: Add a note for us to include in the card (this applies only if you have selected the gift wrapping option).

8 oz Muth jar filled with Little Wren Farm raw honey
Raw Honey in Muth Jar – 8 oz
Little Wren Farm's raw honey bottled in an 8-ounce, old-fashioned glass Muth jar and sealed with a cork and our own natural beeswax.  These embossed jars make a wonderful gift and are a reproduction of the first jar used specifically for honey and popularized by Charles Muth in the 1800’s. The 8-ounce Muth jar is the middle of the three in the photograph and is approximately 5.5" tall.  (The other two Muth jars in the photo are our 16 oz. and 4 oz. Muth jars, and they are approximately 7" and 4.5" inches tall.) All of our honey is produced by the honey bees at the Little Wren Farm apiary in western Massachusetts. To preserve the honey’s natural flavor and qualities, our honey has never been heated above temperatures naturally found in the hive and our honey is not filtered. If you’re unfamiliar with raw honey, please read the Description section below about raw honey and crystallization.

Flight of Honey - Raw Honey Gifts
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. If you’re unfamiliar with raw honey, please also read about raw honey and crystallization in the Description section below.

Nucleus colony
5-Frame Nuc
Our 5-frame nuc includes a mated, marked and proven first-year queen. Originally of Carniolan stock, our queens are open mated here at Little Wren Farm apiary and selected for traits including overwintering success, health, gentleness, and honey production. At pick-up, each 5-frame nuc includes a nucleus colony with a mated, proven, and marked queen; at least 2 frames of her own brood; and 3 frames that provide a mix of food (nectar, honey, pollen/bee bread), brood, and space / foundation for expansion. Our 5-frame nucs are sold in waxed, cardboard nuc boxes. At pick-up, nuc boxes are plugged and banded for transport. Our nucs are only available for curbside pick-up at Little Wren Farm. After your nuc order is confirmed, you will receive an email from Little Wren Farm to coordinate pick-up date and time. We require that you wear a veil for pick-up. Please see the Description section below for additional information regarding pick-up and installation of nucs. Important Note: After a nuc leaves our apiary, we cannot be responsible for the colony, including queen health or performance, but we’re always very happy to answer questions or share advice. Please don't hesitate to drop us a line if you run into questions.
