From the reviews I was looking forward to their ice cream. Didn't realize it was Kapiti, which you can get anywhere in NZ. Still good of course, but wasn't local or anything. more »

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.
