Yes! I love tailoring experiences - baby showers, bachelorettes, birthdays, corporate events. I can adjust honey selections, activities, and even create custom favors.

Super unique and fun experience, and delicious! I never realized how the taste of food can change with honey. The pairings opened up a whole new world of flavors—it's a delightful discovery experience.

I would highly recommend this to everyone! I learned so much about the different kinds of honey and pairings. I am a huge honey fan and would highly recommend this for any special occasion! It's a fun way to bond with friends, strangers, and coworkers. Belinda was amazing! I could feel her passion and loved how knowledgeable she was.

The event was a smashing success! Our employees were fascinated with Belinda's role as an urban beekeeper and the unrealized complexities of honey itself. You never know honey could be this complex and lovely!
