Venue: Killer Bees Honey Apiary (aka, our home)
COVID-19 TOUR UPDATE
Despite the fact that we have millions of stinging insects flying around our property, our top priority has always been the safety, health, and wellbeing of our guests. The COVID-19 pandemic is a rapidly evolving situation that changes by the hour causing tremendous uncertainty. As of right now, our tours starting in May will continue, but limited to only 8 people per tour. We will follow and adhere to all guidelines provided by the CDC, our county and our state. The tour, including the tasting & lunch, will be conducted outdoors where there is plenty of room to keep 6 feet apart. As the situation changes, we will keep all our guests informed and update our website with the latest information. We do ask that if you are feeling ill in any manner please change your plans. This is for your safety and the safety of all our other guests. If you need to cancel for any reason, we will refund your money or book you on another available date. Please give us 24 hours advance notice if you need to cancel
Come experience our natural sanctuary and the bees who call it home (or hive!)
This experience is about sustainable bio-diversity and the role of honeybees as the heartbeat of a healthy environment. High in the middle of the Pisgah National Forest, our hive girls help keep the forest healthy and vibrant. The result of their pollination sorties is uniquely exquisite artisanal honey; all derived from the abundant natural goodness of the forest. This tour is as interesting & delicious as our honey.
Killer Bees Honey is not a honey packer or marketing company. We do not purchase honey from other beekeepers. All honey is harvested and hand bottled from our Appalachian forest apiaries managed by the KBH beekeeper himself. We control honey purity at every step of the process. Our business is driven by a bee-centric approach, not profits, market share or sales volume.
