Be a Beekeeper for a Day
Come experience the wonderful world of the honeybee where we encourage you to take pictures. We begin our 1 1/2 hour experience near Tampa, Florida. I have several different locations to choose from ranging from Farm to urban areas. The address showing will not be the place that you will have your experience. After you book I will send out the location. It will be either Lutz, Odessa, or S. Saint Petersburg. If you book first, I can be flexible as to location. We will begin with a demonstration of the equipment used in beekeeping as well as dressing up in our full bee suits and then immediately start the hands-on experience. At this point you will be able to see, feel, hear and touch apis mellifera (the European honey bee!) as I guide you to a better understanding of these amazing creatures. During our time together you will manipulate equipment, ask questions and get a practical appreciation of the bees. After, you will enjoy a refreshment while we discuss your recent experiences. Upon completion, we provide a 5 oz honey jar and honey dipper to say thank you for being a beekeper for a day! Things to note: PLEASE BRING BOOTS or Tennis shoes. There is always a chance of getting stung, So if you are allergic to bees please choose a different experience. We want you to come away feeling alive and in tune with the natural world.

Learn to Make Makizushi Sushi Rolls at a Saké Bar
Let sushi-rolling guru Chef Desiree help you master the art of sushi-making in a beginner-friendly cooking class like none other! Upgrade your dinner date, celebrate a special occasion, or invite your family to make some unforgettable memories. Meet up at an awesome local sake bar and treat yourself to a truly unique cocktail before rolling up your sleeves to roll up some top-notch sushi. You’ll master a wealth of valuable kitchen skills as you learn to expertly select and slice ingredients for artful sushi rolls. In this class, the focus will be on makizushi, also known as maki. These are the rolls you typically see at sushi restaurants, usually consisting of nori seaweed, sushi rice, and various filling ingredients. After learning to make perfectly-textured sticky sushi rice, you’ll get to choose two rolls to make from a tantalizing selection of flavors including a classic California roll, a sumptuous spicy tuna roll, or a hearty avocado roll. Sip on some great sake beverages as you go and prepare to feast on lots of chef-approved sushi!
Honey Bees Up Close - Bee A Keeper
Your 1.5+ hour interactive nature experience with the bees begins with a multimedia overview of the life of a bee. You’ll see a hive and learn how to hold a frame (without squishing the bees -they don’t like that). We’ll get suited up. Light a smoker. Do a safety check, and approach the hive. At the hive you’ll see and feel the power of propolis (a supplement for humans as well) -- its the glue bees use to seal up the hive. We’ll lift the lid and go inside. For some, that’s might be as far as they want to go. But, if you’re adventurous, we will do a complete hive inspection: Pull frames to see how the bees create honey and keep the colony alive. You’ll see open “wet cells” of nectar that are still in the process of transforming into honey. You’ll see capped honey, tiny freshly laid eggs and all the stages of bee development ( larvae, caped brood, and newly emerging “baby bees”). I’ll show you how beekeepers help control pests (other insects and diseases) and keep the bees healthy so they can do their important work. You’ll hold frames of bees and feel the weight of a full frame of honey when compared to a frame of bees. There’s always time for selfies. You’ll sample honey & enjoy a cold beverage sweetened with honey. This is Ecco tourism with some of mother nature’s most important workers.
