Fascinating World of Bees
You and three guests will have an exclusive opportunity to suit up and experience beekeeping! Accompany local beekeepers Arline and Jeff Culp at their Quaker Hill “Bee Me Up” Apiary and learn how bees live and produce honey. Conduct a hive inspection and see bees at work firsthand. You’ll get to hold a frame of bees and find the queen, discover native plants in bloom on the property, learn about honey harvesting and see the equipment used in the process. Afterwards, enjoy a honey tasting and luncheon and chat about these essential pollinators. Take home organic wildflower honey produced and harvested on site along with other bee-related goodies.

  • The experience will last 3–4 hours and can be scheduled on a mutually agreed upon date

Week-long Key West Getaway

Fun amenities, such as watersports, lively nightlife, beaches and historic sites, are all close by. Your getaway includes four tickets to a snorkeling adventure exploring stunning sea life and gorgeous waters on “Floridays,” a beautiful 54-foot sailing yacht.
