Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any beekeeping experience to take a tour at Two Hives Honey?
No prior experience is needed. Tours are designed for complete beginners and are led by experienced beekeepers who explain everything as you go. Kids are welcome on most tour dates, though you'll want to confirm age guidelines when you book.
What does the beekeeping school program cover?
The specialty school covers hive setup, colony behavior, seasonal management, and basic honey harvesting. You'll spend time working with real hives, not just reading from a manual. By the end, most students have a clear picture of what keeping bees actually requires day to day.
Is the honey from Two Hives Honey raw or processed?
Their honey is locally produced from hives in and around the Manor area, and it's minimally processed to preserve the natural flavor and beneficial properties. If you want specifics on filtration or heat treatment, it's worth asking them directly when you visit or call.
How far in advance should I book a tour?
Tours tend to fill up, especially on weekends and during spring and fall when bee activity peaks in Central Texas. Booking at least one to two weeks ahead is a smart move. Last-minute spots sometimes open up, but counting on availability isn't a reliable plan.
Can I buy honey directly at the farm, or only online?
Honey is available for purchase on-site during tours and visits, which many customers prefer since you can taste before you buy. Check ahead if you're planning a visit outside of scheduled tour times, as walk-ins may not always be accommodated.
What should I wear to a beekeeping tour?
Light-colored, long-sleeved clothing is recommended, and closed-toe shoes are a must. Two Hives Honey typically provides protective gear for participants, but dressing appropriately underneath makes the whole experience more comfortable, especially during Texas summers.
