Killer Bees Honey

Join us on the beautiful Killer Bees Honey mountaintop, with an iconic view of the Blue Ridge Mountains, for the Original Killer Bees Honey Tasting

Killer Bees Honey presents a delightfully delicious discussion and exploration of honey. Our experiences are guided by hive master and chief connoisseur, Sean Collinsworth. Sean is a certified North Carolina beekeeper, having managed bees for over 30 years. He is one of a handful of Americans to be certified with the Italian Register of Experts in the Sensory Analysis of Honey; fondly known as a “Honey Sommelier”. Like fine wine, pure honey is a product of a local terroir; the soil, water and climate all contribute to the complexity of regional honey flavors.

About the Experience:
– Learn how bees make honey and why pure honey never spoils.
– Learn the difference between honey varietals and what distinguishes them from one another.
– Learn the factors that influence honey flavors and production.
– Learn what to look for when searching for honey purity, and what to avoid.
– TASTE a variety of honeys and discover how they pair, compliment and enliven various foods.
– 2-.5 hour presentation includes honey, food pairings & champagne along with a honey souvenir!
– Visit the Honey house to see how pure, raw honey is processed from the comb.
$750 minimum base cost for up to 10 guests. 2 additional guests can be added for $75 each. No guests under 15 years old.
