Tons of honey related products for you to browse and buy. There's even bee alcohol flights for you to try at the bar. Very friendly staffs, remember to go for the unique and local honey.

There is a barn outside and sitting area and facts about bees and I believe there is also bee...
In summer, bring hats and use garden seating after tours. In winter, layer up for cooler hive rooms and warm up by the café fireplace.
