When arriving, Mary will meet and greet you for about 15 minutes to answer any questions and escort you into the Honeybee Sanctuary. A gentle timer will be set for 45 minutes for your solitude time in the therapy lounge with the bees. Once the timer goes off, please ensure door is fully latched closed on your way out and back to your car.
The Honeybee Sanctuary is a carefully designed wellness space that allows you to experience the presence of a living beehive—safely, comfortably, and deeply.

Inside, you rest on a wooden bench, beneath which live active honeybee colonies. A secure barrier system ensures that the bees remain completely separate from the interior space, so you can relax without concern. While you are protected, you are able to fully experience the subtle, powerful essence of the hive.

As you lie down, you’ll begin to notice the gentle warmth rising from below, the aromatic air infused with honey, wax, and propolis, and the steady, resonant hum of thousands of bees working in harmony.

Bee therapy practices have been used for over a century in various parts of the world to support conditions such as asthma, COPD, and respiratory inflammation. More recently, attention has turned to the benefits for stress-related conditions, including anxiety, PTSD, and nervous system dysregulation.

Safety & Disclaimer
Safety & Disclaimer
For your safety, The Honeybee Sanctuary is designed so that there is no direct contact with bees once inside. Guests do have to walk within 10 feet of the hive entrances to get to the lounge door. There is a path that leads you around the hives so you are not walking or standing directly in front of them. We suggest walking and moving slowly and not making loud startling noises while around the hives. If one approaches or lands on you, avoid swatting or waving arms- they are friendly around calm energy and don't want to sting you. Unlike other hornets and yellow jackets, honeybees die when they sting you and only use it as a last resort. My dad used to say to move like a slow giant.

There are TWO layers of protective screens so that when you are in the Bee Shed, the bees cannot get to you!
If a bee approaches or lands on you, avoid swatting or waving arms- they are friendly around calm energy. They really don't want to sting you as they die when they do.
Moving the 1st swarm into place. The branches let the bees know something has changed and they need to reorient their knowledge of homebase.
