Bees Bees and Great Honey tasting
Being lifelong learners, we were looking for an opportunity to understand more about Bees. My Wife and sister-in-law have always like bees and wanted to know more. We found this tour while surfing the web looking for kool things to do during our annual visit to the Big Island and found this gem. The location of the tour is on Susan's Bee and Bird Farm in Honokaa off the Old Mamalahoa Hwy on the North end of the island. The drive was an experience on its own, a bit over and hour from Kona Coast and was green and beautiful drive. Even if you do not do the tour you gotta drive this rural road, be careful lots of single lane bridges! Upon arrival we were greeted by a rescue puppy and Susan Collins, Beekeeper. The location is almost hidden in the foliage giving the location a feeling of solitude and peacefulness. The bee complex with hives and outbuilding are located centrally when you arrive. After introductions and complimentary coffee/tea with honey of course, Susan gave us a tutorial on Bees 101 that was geared to our starting knowledge. After this Susan took us out to a few hives and we got to see working colonies in action. She provides us with excellent Bee gear and made sure we were safe and sound while doing the field portion of the visit. We got to see worker bees in action in the hive as well as queen in action and drones just being drones LOL. Each worker bee has a specific task they do to make the colony a mini working city. It was great to see the hives inside with bees in all stages of life cycle from inception to grave. We got to hold and study the racks which hold the hives, honey and related items. Susan made us comfortable in this endeavor and now have a new respect for beekeepers. Once we finished the field portion of the tour we went back to the classroom and got to taste various types of honey, and she told us the various types out there including clone honey imported, sad to hear that. If you have any interest in Bees this is a great introduction to Bees and if you want more advanced knowledge and training Susan offers additional classes and training. We recommend this tour 150% and you will too as Susan is passionate and knowledgeable on Bees and talks at a level commiserate on who is in the class.

Buzzing with Practical Information and Hands-on Experience !
I was super blessed and grateful to learn about Bird and Bee Hawai'i. I took a month long bee keeping class with Susan and learned so so much. For decades i have wanted to learn how to keep bees and after my four weeks I feel like an informed confident novice! I appreciated the basics about bees and getting supervised instruction on getting into the hives, identifying the queen, and knowing what to look out for long term in the hives. The small group made it easy to connect to Susan and others. Great class and value!!! mahalo nui loa Susan for your leadership and inspiring more bee keeping here on Moku o Keawe.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private 2-Hour Beekeeping Classroom Tour in Honokaa: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Big Island of Hawaii.
How much does Private 2-Hour Beekeeping Classroom Tour in Honokaa cost?
+
Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Big Island of Hawaii usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private 2-Hour Beekeeping Classroom Tour in Honokaa take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Big Island of Hawaii is not rushed.
Is Private 2-Hour Beekeeping Classroom Tour in Honokaa worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Big Island of Hawaii, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private 2-Hour Beekeeping Classroom Tour in Honokaa?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private 2-Hour Beekeeping Classroom Tour in Honokaa suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private 2-Hour Beekeeping Classroom Tour in Honokaa?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Big Island of Hawaii can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Big Island of Hawaii and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 2-Hour Beekeeping Classroom Tour in Honokaa start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Big Island of Hawaii within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Big Island of Hawaii?
+
The Big Island is volcano country: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park tours, Mauna Kea summit stargazing, night manta ray snorkels off Kona, Waipio Valley lookouts and coffee farm visits. Summit tours have real altitude rules, so we weight safety detail. On Outty we rank every Big Island of Hawaii experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include KONA Manta Ray Night Snorkel - FREE re-ride if no Sightings, Big Island in a Day: Volcanoes Waterfalls Sightseeing and History, Big Island: Captain Cook Snorkel On A Power Catamaran With Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Big Island of Hawaii?
+
April to October, though the island runs year round. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Big Island of Hawaii?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
