We offer unique experiences for teams looking to get outside and that value experiences over stuff. Perfect for team building, a way to punch up an offsite meeting, or just a unique way to treat your group. For everyone from the intellectually curious to the bee obsessed, we guarantee a day your team won’t soon forget. Choose from one of our three signature experiences or combine several to make it a day at our Honey Ranch, located just a few miles east of Austin, TX.
Hive Tours
Experience the wonder of bees in a way that few get to experience: through the hands-on exploration of an active honey bee hive. Your day will start with a professional beekeeper, who will share an introduction on honey bee colonies. Next, suit up in protective gear, light a bee smoker, and prepare to get up close with more than 100,000 bees. Your tour will end with a taste of the freshest honey, straight from the hive!
Honey Harvest Party
New for 2023! Be prepared to get sticky as you join our beekeepers in a honey harvest! You’ll learn about each step of the harvesting process, and then participate in a full honey harvest. You’ll start the class with untouched frames of pure honeycomb, and each participant will go home with a mini jar of honey harvested by your team! Next, enjoy a mini honey flight led by a beekeeper. (Note: this experience does not involve opening bee hives.)
Honey Sensory Experience
A private Honey Sensory class is a sommelier-style tasting of 5 honeys paired with cheeses and other complimentary flavors. With each course, you’ll gain an appreciation for bees’ honey-making process, different floral sources and the resulting honey, and the ways honey can be manipulated after it is pulled from the hive. Need a virtual option? Let us ship honey and cheese boxes to your team anywhere in the continental U.S., and then tune in to join a beekeeper live online for the experience.

What People Are Saying
An Unforgettable Team Event!
Our team had so much fun and have some amazing pics! But the REAL benefit came a week later at our all-staff meeting. It was amazing how much we learned about how bees relate to working together in a company… how they communicate, share a common mission, and their interdependent roles in the hive! We began talking about how our company could be more like bees. It has really been transformative. If you are looking to have a fun, relaxing, unforgettable event with your team, or if you want to transform your company culture, OR BOTH – a Two Hives tour is the right fit!
A Unique Virtual Team Event
Two Hives hosted a great virtual event for my team at work. They sent us the cutest boxes of 3 honeys to taste, and we all picked up suggested cheese, fruit and drink pairings. We learned a ton about bees and the honey making process during the virtual tasting event, and the team loved it!
Private Hive Tour
This was such a fun experience for me and my coworkers! Evie was really great to work with in setting up our tour and our beekeeper guide Cyn was knowledgeable and fun. Even though there was a possibility of rain canceling our tour, Two Hives Honey was extremely communicative the day of and willing to come up with a plan to make it work. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who is interested in a fun and unique experience, especially for a company event! Can't wait to take another group back. Thank you!
