A guest shadowing a Been's Bees beekeeper during a hive inspection

Beekeeping Ride Alongs

Free — shadow a beekeeper as we work our hives

Interested in beekeeping but not sure if it is right for you? Come shadow a beekeeper as they manage some of our hives. Wear your own bee suit, or borrow one of ours and get up close to the hives and watch as we perform the routine tasks of beekeeping.

Participants can observe from a distance or handle bees depending on their comfort level. Beekeepers will work many colonies over several hours with flexible start and end times.

Safety Requirements

Due to the nature of bees, we require all participants to wear a protective bee suit, including veil and gloves. Participants may bring their own suit or borrow one if available.

Important Notes

Subject to availability, weather, and the needs of our bees. Due to weather and apiary conditions, ride alongs may become available, or unfortunately canceled on short notice.

Location: Ride alongs are available in several locations in Hummelstown, PA.
