Bee Experience (will restart Summer 2026)

Golden Dog Farm LLC

| /

Join us for an in-depth discovery of the bees! You will suit up and enjoy a fun tour through a hive as we learn more about how a bee colony functions. We will look for the worker bees, drone, eggs, larvae.. and maybe even find the Queen! You will learn how the colony functions as a super-organism and turns flowers into food. 

Bee Experiences are available June through late September and are weather permitting. (Available to people 6+ and older).

If you'd like to join us for lunch after the event while enjoying our magnificent new hospitality barn and expansive views of Smugglers' Notch and Mt. Mansfield, we'll serve you a boxed lunch with a delicious sandwich from a local deli, chips, cookie and a beverage (sparkling water or soft drink). Sandwich options include the classics, including a vegetarian option. We'll share specific sandwich options if you select the lunch option.  

Note: You are purchasing a ticket to an event (similar to a concert or sporting event). Once you book it, there are no refunds and no rescheduling. If you want to transfer your booking to friends or family, you may do so, but you need to let us know who will be attending in your place so that they can be checked in for the event.

Pricing for Bee Experience w/ Boxed Lunch:

$109.50/person lunch option includes an additional 9% Vermont State Sales Tax on the lunch portion ($27.52 + $2.48 = $30.00).

Lovely experience with warm and inviting hosts

Lovely experience with warm and inviting hosts. My children could have stayed for hours letting bees cover their bodies. Hopeful to return one day to help harvest honey.

An Incredible Experience

Golden Dog Farm has the rare combination of memorable experiences, beautiful scenery, and wonderful hosts! For someone with absolutely no experience with beekeeping, The Bee Experience was the opportunity of a lifetime. Not only were the hosts extremely accommodating and great at ensuring everyone’s safety and comfort, they were also wonderful teachers! For example, I had no idea what a queen bee looked like before this experience; now that I’ve seen one up close, I’ll never forget 😊

Overall this is a must-do for anyone and everyone, even if six-legged critters aren’t your thing!
