Meet the Bees Guided Apiary Tour and Honey Tasting

This is a fully immersive outdoor experience led by local beekeeper Steve. Learn directly from him as he shares his knowledge, stories, and passion for the bees that help shape Ojai Valley’s agricultural community. Watch as Steve opens live hives to reveal worker bees, drones, and the Queen Bee. See tools like the smoker in action and sample raw local honey varieties, including wildflower, orange, and sage.

Join professional beekeeper Steve for a hands-on hive tour at one of his apiaries in the Ojai Valley. During this one- to two-hour experience, you’ll suit up, open live hives, and see bees at work inside their colony. Learn how Steve keeps his bees healthy through the seasons and watch honey being pulled straight from the hive. Protective suits are provided, all ages are welcome, and group size is limited to 20 for a safe, personal experience.
