About this Event

Join us and learn about honey bees in one of the most unique ways, through the hands­-on experience of an active, buzzing beehive! We will dive into a hive during the tour and show you what we look for when caring for our hives, as well as some of the more interesting sights, like honeycomb, baby bees, and the queen bee.

As we dissect a hive, frame by frame, you'll have a chance to hold an active comb full of honey bees. We'll describe everything we see and give you the opportunity to ask your bee questions.

You will leave with a better sense of the honey bees' role in the environment, not to mention the intricacies of what goes into making honey. Find out why they aren't as scary as we're led to believe and what you can do to give them a hand.

You're gonna 'hive' a great time, guaranteed.

Tours meet at Sky Farm by Variety Boys and Girls Club of Queens in Long Island City, Queens. Tours last for about 1 hour.

Here's what the tour includes:

  • Guided tour by an experienced Beekeeper
  • Protective gear
  • An opportunity to hold a frame full of bees

Important Information:

  • Signed waivers are required to participate, no exceptions!
  • Please arrive 15 minutes early to get to the roof and get waivers taken care of.
  • Hive Tours are completely weather-dependent. If there is rain in the forecast or the temperatures will be less than 65℉, we will contact you by email 24-48 hours before the tour to reschedule or cancel.
