Small-group Beekeeping Experience In Tauherenikau

Really fascinating insight into the world of beekeeping. Really interesting for all the family

What a delightful morning spent learning about bees and honey. Delightful hosts. Would definitely recommend this experience.

Fantastic experience and we learnt so much. Alex gave us our tour and we enjoyed getting up close with the bees and seeing their production area. The honey is outstanding and what wonderful hosts Alex and Karly are. Would highly recommend this

We traveled New Zealand as a family with teens and loved our stop at Greytown Honey. It was fun, informative, and hands-on. We were all kept very safe around the bees. Our favorite parts were getting the close up look into the hive and the honey tasting - what an incredible diversity! We included the add on to fill our own honey jars to take home and it made the very best souvenir of our trip. A taste of NZ and a reminder of our trip with each golden drop.

Wonderful! No safety concerns on this tour. Always great to meet with people who are passionate about what they are doing. 💕

We so enjoyed our time and would highly recommend the stop. We learned a lot about bees! So incredibly interesting and the owners are super people. They shared their story of how they got into the bee business. They are very passionate about what they do. Plus their honey is top notch.

Alex & Karly were so great, they answered all our questions and we learnt more about bees than we thought possible. The honey tasting was so yummy too! Lovely to really compare all the flavours they have available! Would recommend to anyone. They made us feel very safe and encouraged to ask questions and enjoy ourselves!

Very excellent review, learnt heaps. The shop is also really nice! Would highly recommend to others!

Such a fun and informative experience. I booked it mainly for my son who loves bees and honey but I enjoyed it as much as he did. Great way to spend the day making memories and left with the most delicious honey knowing all about the process of making it. Highly recommend thanks Greytown Honey team will be recommending and visiting again - Stasia and Boden

Wonderful couple of hours spent at Greytown Honey learning all about their bees and honey making process. Our host was friendly and informative and happy to answer all our questions. We got to bottle our own honey and tasty so many different varieties and learn about their benefits. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who likes honey. 🐝

My partner and I had such a wonderful and personal tour led by the lovely Karly. It was a joy to hear the story of Greytown Honey, just as much as it was to learn the honey-making process, and getting to learn the ins and outs of a hive. Spotting new bees hatching, and seeing the queen parade about was so cool, and finishing the tour with tasting all the varieties Greytown produces was the icing on the cake. Definitely a highlight on our trip, we felt like big kids!

One of the best experience! How Manuka honey is made - that was our question. Perfectly prepared, highly professional, open, friendly and passionate - that describes the team. Absolutely yummie the honey. The shop is great, we could send our orders directly to Switzerland 🇨🇭! Perfect service! A MUST do!!!

We had some time to spare so booked a beekeeping session with Greytown Honey. Karly and Alex are very friendly and welcoming. Their story, how we they came to do what they are doing, is very interesting. Karly tells a great story while keeping it light and amusing. Before you go see the hives you are well kitted out in protective gear but to be honest the bees are quite calm as Alex handles them and you never get the feeing you will be stung. Alex is great, answering all questions with an obvious enthusiasm and has a great deal of knowledge on his subject. The tour is relaxed and is great for anyone of any age who wants to see how a bee hive works and get up close to some working bees, oh and the honey is absolutely delicious. We had a fun time and would recommend the trip to others, pick a dry day if possible as you are outside for a large part of the trip.

What a lovely way to spend the morning! We got suited up and visited a bee hive, saw the queen bee and listened to the very knowledgeable Alex explain the process from the bees doing their work through to the honey being consumed by us. This was followed by a tasting of their great range of honey. We went away with a jar of honey that we had bottled ourselves, along with some additional purchases - who would resist. I would definately recommend this. We were lucky to be doing this mid week and therefore had Alex's undivided attention but I would imagine this would be a good group activity too.

A brilliant morning learning about bees and honey! We suited up and went to see the hive and learn about the bees before going into the factory to see how they honey is made. We then got to taste a big selection of different honey, as well as honey chocolate! The family shared their story and it was so nice to see all they are doing for the bees and to keep honey going. They have a little shop so we also bought some honey to take away and it’s absolutely delicious!

What a buzz! High energy introduction on the Greytown Honey beekeeping history. Kitted up into suits made all feel authentic excellent Safety briefing. Leant so much about bees and honey and beeswax and processing! The honey tasting was incredible. Great products to buy. Recommend for all!

I can’t begin to express how much I enjoyed the tour with Greytown Honey. I learned so much about bees, the hives, and the honey process, but mostly just had a fantastic day with family. Carly and Tom are super friendly and I really enjoyed meeting them and getting to hear their story. Would absolutely recommend going with friends, or also great to do as a get together with family, or just solo would be great too!

Where do I even start?! My sister gifted this experience to me and my dad as a family experience, and it couldn't have been better. The staff are SO lovely, authentic, and refreshingly honest. They kept calm and spent loads of time with a kid on the tour who was scared of bees. I got to hold a bee, and we got to ask lots of questions and get super immersed. We chatted to them after and exchanged homemade goods and got to feed the super cute pet sheep. They're a wonderful local business, they are super accommodating and friendly, and they have high ethics and values as a business. They clearly work hard for their bees and are innovative. It's a great experience for anyone curious or looking to do something alcohol-free. I can't reccommend enough!

The incredible flow of information and kindness … fascinating and fulfilling … thank you both! Love my treats from the shop too!
