The temperatures have dropped and the bees have gone to bed for the 2024 Bee Hut season. From now until Spring, 2025, the Bee Huts are closed to guests while the winter bees keep the queen at 90F/32.2C. The winter bees "unhook" their flight wings and exercise their flight muscles to generate heat for her majesty. Honeybees are indeed amazing creatures!
Bees are the closest thing to magic that we’ve ever seen. While they are the only insect that makes food for humans, there are more wonderful things that bees have to share. The bees produce a mesmerizing, tranquil hum as they work, and the aroma that comes from their honey production is absolutely heavenly. Usually, only beekeepers get to experience more than the taste of honey, but now you can too in the Capella Ranch Bee Huts.
The Capella Ranch Bee Huts are designed and built with a “human side” and a “bee side”, and the two sides meet through a protective metal screen. You can enter the human side and quite literally sit or lay down on top of four active beehives. Learn more about the Bee Huts.
