commune with the bees!

Bees entering a wooden hive, carrying pollen on their legs.

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 β€œhuman side” and a β€œbee 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.

Where the Bees Enter

At the south side of each hut are two slots (one on each of the back half doors). The bees enter and exit from their hives through these slots.

Where You enter

On the north side there is a human sized door, where you can enter. This entrance leads to the area where humans rest. There are two benches for sitting or laying down and some pillows for comfort.

How the bees stay below

The human resting area is blocked from having bees enter from below with a stainless steel mesh with holes small enough that bees cannot get through, but air can still pass through.

Relax, breathe deeply, and experience the soothing warmth, gentle vibrations, and tranquil hum of over a million bees working beneath youβ€”creating a one-of-a-kind meditative escape.
