Friendly staff members, its location is a bit hidden and unless you know about it, you might miss it. Sells mostly honey & bee related stuffs; have sections dedicated for children as well as to educate them about bees. Also stock honey-based wine and liquor. The price is quite expensive - standard souvenir shop price.

This was an amazing place. You can see the bees at work through glass windows. I sat for about an hour watching this vety informative vido about the honey bee. It was well worth the visit.

Every honey product you can imagine (including alcohol) None are cheap but it's well worth a look. They have indoor bees you can see working through glass, it's a bright and open layout and there is free tastings of about 10 different honeys! Take half hour to stop in and look through of you are in the area.

Matthew Downes
Free to enter, good knowledge about bees, plenty of things for the kids to look at and if you like honey they have about a hundred different ways to get some!

Wonderful shop with an actual hive on display and great information for those interested. Staff were great and if you need a pick me up The Buzzer and a macadamia brittle is your fix.
