Sat 1/24, 9am-1pm: The Science of Honey Tasting
Sun 1/25, 9am-3pm: The Science of Mead Tasting
Participate in one or both days. All proceeds benefit the CA Master Beekeeper Program which provides vital educational resources to beekeepers across the country.
The Science of Honey Tasting:
Step into the vibrant world of bees, blossoms, and the golden nectar that connects them. This course invites you to explore honey from every angle—personal, cultural, ecological, and sensory. Participants will:
- Understand how honey bee colonies are structured and the seasonal rhythms of beekeeping
- Follow nectar’s transformation into honey and explore key chemical factors such as sugars, water content, and crystallization
- Learn the essential role of pollen in bee nutrition, honey identity, and agricultural forensics
- Examine the honey bee’s (and native bees) importance to agriculture and ecosystems
- Sharpen your senses as you taste varietal honeys and observe their unique flavor profiles, aromas, colors and textures
Includes refreshments, snacks and 15% off purchases in The HIVE Tasting Room & Kitchen during your visit
