Explore the inner workings of a live honey bee colony on a guided hive tour in Long Island City, Queens. With a professional beekeeper leading the way, participants open a hive and examine frames one by one, learning what caretakers look for and spotting highlights such as fresh honeycomb, developing brood, and, when visible, the queen. Protective gear is provided, and guests may have the chance to hold a frame buzzing with bees while asking questions throughout the experience. When conditions allow, taste honey straight from the comb. The tour highlights the vital role bees play in the environment and clarifies how honey is made, offering simple ways to support pollinators. Tours meet at Sky Farm by the Variety Boys and Girls Club of Queens and run for about one hour. Signed waivers are required for all participants, so plan to arrive about 15 minutes early to access the roof and complete paperwork. Tours are weather dependent. If rain is forecast or temperatures are below 65°F, email notifications to reschedule or cancel are sent 24 to 48 hours in advance. Tips for guides are appreciated but never required.
