Inside the Hive: A Beekeeping Experience at Fox Point Farms

Step into the fascinating world of Fox Point Farms honeybees with Bee Leaf USA beekeepers right here on the farm, starting Saturday and Sunday, April 4th & 5th.
This immersive, behind-the-scenes experience begins with a short guided overview covering the fundamentals of honeybee life, colony structure, and the role bees play in regenerative farming. You’ll gain a strong foundation (and peace of mind) before heading out to the hives.
Guests will then suit up in protective beekeeping veils and gloves before inspecting a live hive with the beekeeper. During the inspection, you’ll have the opportunity to:
• Spot the queen bee
• Observe honey production in real time
• Identify worker, drone, and queen roles
• See the honeybee life cycle up close
• Ask questions as the experience unfolds
• Take photos in protective gear with the hives
We’ll close with a 10–15 minute Q&A to answer common bee curiosities and decompress after the hive visit.
What You’ll Learn
• The roles of bees in a colony (Queen, Worker, Drone)

• The honeybee life cycle
• The importance of pollinators in sustainable agriculture
