Welcome to our Observation Bee Hive
Discover the Magic of Bees at Our Observation Hive! 🐝Step into our farm store and experience the wonders of the honeybee up close with our
9-frame Observation Bee Hive! This special hive is enclosed in glass, allowing visitors to safely see, touch, and learn about the fascinating world of bees without disturbing them. Our Observation Bee Hive is managed by Willow Bee Apiary available for viewing from mid May to early September.
Why an Observation Hive?Bees play a crucial role in our ecosystem, pollinating the plants that provide us with food, flowers, and natural beauty. Our Observation Hive gives you a rare opportunity to witness these incredible pollinators in action—watch as they build honeycomb, store nectar, care for their young, and even communicate through their famous "waggle dance"!
A Safe & Interactive Experience
📍 Visit Us Today! Come explore, ask questions, and gain a deeper appreciation for these tiny but mighty creatures. We can’t wait to share the magic of bees with you!
🐝 Fun Bee Facts!Bees pollinate 1/3 of the food we eat! Without them, many fruits, vegetables, and nuts wouldn’t grow.
Bees fly up to 25 km/h (15 mph)! That’s faster than most humans can run.
A single bee visits up to 5,000 flowers a day! Talk about a busy worker!
Beeswax is made by young worker bees! They produce tiny wax flakes from special glands to build honeycomb.
In the winter, bees huddle together for warmth! They form a tight cluster around their queen, keeping her warm even in freezing temperatures
