点评:We had an amazing experience at Hanai Hives and would highly recommend their tour! We went with a group of 4 adults and 2 kids (ages 9 and 6), and everyone had an amazing time. I was a bit concerned that the beekeeping suits would be uncomfortably hot in the summer, but the whole space is beautifully shaded, like walking through a botanic garden specifically curated for the bees. Katie is a wealth of knowledge and is clearly so passionate about the bees, the local community, and educating as many people as she can about beekeeping. She was so generous with her time and made sure to give everyone in the group plenty of information and opportunity to ask questions. She carefully pointed out all the different bees, from the larvae to the queen bee, and let us hold different frames from the hive so we could observe the different stages as the bees constructed the honeycomb. She was fantastic with kids and adults, and she made sure everyone was included and engaged. The different honey varieties were delicious, and I can see why so many high-end places on the North Shore come to Hanai Hives to supply their honey. It was so special to find a place willing to offer private tours rather than focusing on maximizing profits; you get so much more in-depth when your group can really get up close and personal and ask all the questions as they come up. Thank you, Katie!
翻译:我们在Hanai Hives度过了一段美好的时光,强烈推荐他们的旅行!我们一行4个大人和2个小孩(分别为9岁和6岁)一起去,每个人都玩得很开心。我有点担心夏天养蜂服会热得让人不舒服,但整个空间都被遮蔽得非常好,就像漫步在一个专门为蜜蜂精心设计的植物园里。Katie知识渊博,对蜜蜂、当地社区以及尽可能多地向人们普及养蜂知识充满热情。她非常慷慨地投入时间,确保给团队中的每个人都提供充足的信息和提问的机会。她仔细地向我们介绍各种不同的蜜蜂,从幼虫到蜂王,还让我们拿着蜂巢里不同的框架,这样我们就可以观察蜜蜂筑巢的不同阶段。她对孩子和大人都很好,确保每个人都能融入其中并参与其中。不同品种的蜂蜜味道鲜美,我明白为什么北岸那么多高端场所都来Hanai Hives供应蜂蜜了。能找到一个愿意提供私人导览而不是一味追求利润最大化的地方真是太特别了;当你的团队能够真正近距离接触蜂蜜,并随时提出所有问题时,你就能获得更深入的了解。谢谢你,Katie!
