First, start in our honey house, where you will enjoy honey and honeygar tastings while learning how we pack and process our delicious honey. You’ll also delve into the world of beekeeping and gain insights into hive management throughout the seasons. Plus, get to sample our exclusive plant-based skincare range and discover the numerous health benefits of Manuka honey.
During your time with us, you will:
  • See a working hive in our garden and understand the roles of individual bees within the colony.
  • Gain knowledge about honey and wax harvesting for our wide range of products.
Throughout the workshop, you will be surrounded by the hum of bees, creating a calming and immersive experience. Don't worry if you're a beginner; our friendly beekeepers will guide you through every step, ensuring a memorable and enjoyable time spent with these incredible creatures.
After wandering through our gardens and discovering how to support honey bees, you will leave with a complimentary jar of our honey to take home.

Earthbound Honey was established in 2006 by Terry and Karlene Shaw-Toomey. Wanting a better life for their three boys, Terry left his job as Production Director for a city-based communications company and started working with the bees. A year later Karlene reduced her workload as a landscape gardener and joined him. They now both work from their 11 acre property in the beautiful Bethells Valley, lying north-west of Auckland.
