Scheduling & weather:
Tours are held by appointment and are weather dependent. Tours may need to be postponed in windy, cold, or rainy conditions — we will always give you as much notice as possible and work with you to reschedule.
Summer timing: To avoid the heat of the Maltese summer, tours are ideally scheduled at 8:00am or in the early evening from 6:00pm onwards.
After purchasing, you will be contacted to arrange a suitable date and time for your group.
⚠️ Important — please read before booking:
- Bee allergy: This experience involves being in close proximity to live bees. Anyone with a known bee sting allergy must not participate. If you are unsure, please consult your doctor before booking.
- Footwear: All participants must wear closed, sturdy shoes — hiking-style shoes or boots are ideal. Open-toed shoes, sandals, or flip-flops are not permitted for safety reasons.
- Clothing: Wear comfortable, covering clothing. Full beesuits and gloves are provided, but appropriate clothing underneath is important.
- No perfumes or scented products: Participants must not wear perfume, cologne, or scented hair products on the day of the tour. Bees are sensitive to strong scents and this is essential for everyone's safety.
Sustainable beekeeping. Real hives. Real bees. Real honey.
