We had a wonderful experience at Beetopia 🐝 the owner is so friendly and has a great knowledge about bees. She gave us orientation about bees behavior and different kind of honey products. We tasted different varieties of honey and prices are affordable too

If you're lucky enough to be able to spend some time in Beetopia and meet the lovely owner, you will be in for an amazing experience. You are greeted with the warm and delicate smells of delicious beeswax. The host's knowledge of bees, beekeeping, and honey was truly awesome; she gave us such an insight into the amazingly complex lives of bees from their biology and physiology to their society and their complex behaviour. She helped us understand the importance of advocating for bee life, not only the honey bees but also our local native bees which are so often overlooked. We had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious honey tasting of some rare and unique honeys with distinctive flavours. This was really an enlightening and fun experience. I highly recommend it this was truly a massive highlight of my time visiting Matakana
Wonderful place to visit when you’re around and about in Omaha. The lovely owner showed us around, shared some interesting facts about bees and the place and let us try some of the honey. The owner informed us that she also does tours for groups of kids - preschool and above, where they get an opportunity to learn about the life of bees and honey making. 100% recommend.
I recently attended a beginners Beekeeping Course with Grass at Beetopia. Its the perfect location to learn all you want to know about honey bees! I was very impressed with the amount of information that was shared at both the indoor and outdoor venues, and the practical session was extremely well managed. I highly recommend this course! Or just visit the Honey Tasting Shed and enjoy all the informative displays, different honey samples, and a wide variety of bee'autiful related products for sale. A truly remarkable, sensory experience.
Grass leads a wonderfully informative workshop presented in a manner full of interest to beekeeping beginners and with hands-on experience with beehives. Perfect also for anyone with an interest in finding out more about bees and ensuring their welfare when they are so important to our environment.
It was a fantastic experience for a day trip to Matakana. We randomly searched on Google Maps and got onto this honey location by chance, and the staff was very kind and knowledgeable. We were able to taste many varieties of honey and learn about the queen bee without being forced to purchase any products.
What a great experience! We had a super introduction with Grass, which then took us to the beehives and explained everything in detail! We could - of course in full protective gear - open the beehives ourselves and look for the queen (which we found!).
Thereafter, we had a honey tasting with a lot of explanation.
We enjoyed the 90 minutes with our „bee-queen“ Grass and recommend Beetopia to everyone from near or far!

We had a wonderful experience at Beatopia. We did the half hour, educational experience and were entertained and learned more than we thought was possible about bees. We came away from the experience with a deep respect for bees, the owners outlook on bees, and with some fabulous honey. I highly recommend this for families, as well as singles and couples. This experience is something everyone would enjoy.
