Learning about bees - What a cool opportunity to be up close to bees and see the hives. The staff were very knowledgeable. The presentation was educational and exciting once you suited up snd get close to the bees. The location is beautiful overlooking the water. It was totally worth the tine and money..

A+ Experience - Amazing experience on an incredible property. We did it with our 6 and 10 year old and we all loved it. Laura was a passionate and engaged teacher - we all learned a ton about honeybees and how much they do for us. Highly, highly recommend.

Beekeeping tour in Kula - It is a tour that you would rarely have the opportubity to experience. Information shared about bees, suited up in beekeepers suits and witnessed the bees in the bee boxes, which were removed so that participants could see and hold blocks from the hives. It was interesting.

It was an OK experience... - It was an OK experience but definitely not worth the $79 per person cost. When we pulled in the girl at the front stand couldn't even tell us if we were in the right spot. Eventually Erica came down and communicated to us what was going to occur. Overall it seemed somewhat unorganized.
