Description

Join Prairie Bee Meadery on a family friendly audio tour that will teach you about humanity’s partnership with honeybees – how they live, work, and keep us alive.

Fascinated with bees and worry about their health?  Do you have questions about bees and want to know more?  Drop in and visit for family friendly audio tour.  You be will engaged and educated while learning the history of bees and beekeeping.  By the end of the tour you will be able to answer the following questions and more.  How did those bees fly from Europe?  How long have humans been bee keeping? I don’t like honey – what have bees done for me lately?  What is a skep? How stylish would I look in a bee bonnet?   You will also get a glimpse of the future of the human/bee partnership – robohives are in use today across North America.

The nature trail consists of 2-acres of native prairie wildflowers.   Enjoy a walk in the field, take a seat and embrace the summer.  You will get hands on with an inactive hive and bee keeping equipment.  After the tour the kids can enjoy doing a craft in the crafting pavilion while you enjoy a light meal or wine flight.

This audio tour is available for drop-in guests from 11:30am until close at 6:30pm – May to October.  We suggest 1-1.5 hours for the tour and sampling afterwards.  We also we have many other things to enjoy onsite so don’t arrive too late to partake.
