FAQ
What happens if we cancel on the day of our reservation?
Cancellation with a full refund is available up to 24 hours prior to your reservation. No refunds will be provided for cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled session.
Will there be live bees on site?
No, there will be no live bees present during this workshop. However, we will display beekeeping equipment and supplies to demonstrate what's needed for successful bee rearing.
How can we make this workshop private for our group?
Each session accommodates up to 8 participants. To guarantee a private experience, you can book all eight available slots, or contact us directly to arrange custom scheduling.
The available time slots don’t match our schedule—can we request different times?
Absolutely! Please reach out directly, and we'll gladly accommodate your group's preferred schedule or any special requirements.
Why is the child age limit set at 14?
Since these sessions are public and involve tasting, we've set the age limit at 14 to ensure an enjoyable experience for all participants. Younger children often need more freedom to explore than our structured session allows. If you have younger children who can participate comfortably in a boutique setting, please contact us directly to arrange a private tasting session tailored to your needs.
What if I am allergic to one of your honeys?
Participants will be required to sign a waiver. Honey allergies are very rare; however, if you have specific food allergies, please notify us beforehand, and we’ll ensure any honeys associated with your allergies are omitted from your tasting experience.
