So Enlightening
I wanted to do something a little different that would mark our trip to Queenstown. We packed in alot of activities and Bee Keeping Experience was one of them. I would highly recommend doing this - it was so interesting and i had so little knowledge of bees other than they can sting you and they make honey, but we left here so enlightened and amazed at the life of our nz honey bee. They are such amazing loyal and hard working insects and we got to experience and learn so much more about the life of the honey bee and a beekeeper. Rosie was our Beekeeper and her knowledge and enthusiasm made for a very very interesting and enjoyable few hours. Thanks so much Rosie we had a great visit.

Best experience in Queenstown by far!
Nick was fantastic at explaining situation and helped my daughters understand the behaviour of these beautiful natured creatures. From one child who has a phobia of them to having her feed one with her bare hands in the end. I must genuinely recommend you experience this yourself even as an active family, the interaction on this tour was outstanding! Thanks Nick and team for a wonderful and positive experience A+++++

Fun, educational and inspiring
Nick, the General Manager, took care of us really well. He took us through all the bee keeping process, letting us be an active part of it along with the bees, drones and baby bees. He is a caring person with a very educational and easy to understand approach to bee keeping, which we now know that is a far wider science than we initially expected. The setting is amazing between Lake Johnson and the Remarkables; the Buzzstop cafe feels so cozy and with such a relaxing vibe that we didn't want to go back to Glenorchy. We highly recommend taking the time to learn about bee keeping with Nick and his team.

Fun, great and informative tour! A beautiful day!
What a great day! Lovely venue, interesting and informative guide and just so much fun!! Nick was great, full of knowledge and we were in shock at how much we learnt! It was a beautiful day and so lovely to be able to sit in the sun with a delicious wine and sandwich after (would recommend even just going in to try these as both were delicious!) We would definitely recommend the tour to all that are looking for a little something different to do in QT and who want to learn a little bit more about NZ's beautiful bees! Thank you Nick and crew for a great day!
