Honeybee Centre

Every thing Honey even rare kinds. In the middle of the old Fraser Hwy. lkids interactive area. Books, candles, honey Bear pot collection. Tastings and classes to learn how to look after your very own apiary. I love this place, it’s a must see for everyone.

I… am a honey freak. I admit it. I could eat honey every single day. Like winnie the pooh, but with a pseudo-​fro (afro) and freckles.
We stopped in here just spontaneous this weekend because we were in the area. Picked up some clover honey, some cinnamon honey, some cone, and some honey sticks.
The staff were friendly, engaging, and informative. I got to sample honey from all over the place, local honey, and their signature mixtures.
You know what else is awesome? Local farmers in BC rent the bees of this center to polinate their fields in the spring/​summer, so the blueberry honey is from richmond blueberries, the apple honey is from okanagan apples.
If that isn’e amazing, I don’t know what is.
Phew! I’ve had a busy weekend! this is my 4 – 5 review today!

I take bee pollens and honey almost every day but I don’t buy local farm honey or pollens.
Until my mom told me that they have manuka honey imported fr Australia and I made the trip all the way to Surrey Honeybee centre.
I believe all the honeys are pure but not sure why just a bit watery than I order fr Thailand or Australia.
Anyway, they have a lot of flavours and products in shop.

I’ve been to both, however, this is a review for the newly located Main street location that just opened last Saturday, as soon as that listing is up I will be moving this review there. My experience at both has been the same, however, it is nice to have a store that is literally a few blocks from my favorite record store. They got my attention on Car Free Day with their demo of bees. The whole store is filled with everything honey related. A bit too big for the space, therefore, I am hoping that they will be able to make things work given the real estate in the area. They were still setting up, however, clearly they have an organized game plan in mind. The lady at the til was super sweet and helpful. I shared some honey sticks with my best friend, however, he ate most of it.

One strange hungover Sunday, we had a vomit activity day, and after seeing owls and their vomit «pellets» we headed down a winding Surrey street to Honeybee Centre, where I vomited behind their dumpsters from car sickness and then went inside to buy some delicious bee vomit for my tea.
It was a really neat little place, full of different kinds of honey — I honestly had no idea there are different kinds of honey! But I suppose when I puke it’s different depending on what I eat, so when bees puke it’s the same deal. Except that theirs is much more palatable than mine is. My favorite is clover honey. I know this because there is a TASTING BAR. You can actually try all the different honeys before choosing one.
There is also honey soap, beeswax candles, beeswax for making your own candles, Burt’s Bees stuff, bee pollen for allergies, and more.
So much vomit!

I had NO idea the Honeybee Centre existed until today. Today was dubbed «the birds and the bees» day, as we arrived here after visiting OWL rehabilitation society.
This was awesome! I am normally fairly indifferent to honey, but I was presented with SO. MANY. KINDS. to test. Yes. There is a dipping station and a toothpick disposal bowl.
The Clover honey was my favourite, and I bought a little jar of it for about $ 5. I also really liked the Cinnamon honey, but I’m not sure what I would want to use it for, so I left it for next time. I wanted a small jar of the Blueberry honey but sadly they were sold out of the size I wanted.
There is a section at the front where you can get little honey tubes (kind of like a tiny freezie?) of different flavoured honey. I saw a lot of random flavours like Amaretto, Blackberry, Lime, Vanilla and so on.
They also carry a wall of Burt’s Bees products, a ton of beeswax you can melt down to craft with, pretty candles, baked goods, soaps, other pollen products, and probably a ton more.
There is also an educational area in the back with live honey bees, but I didn’t really see any of it because I didn’t feel like paying the $ 5 fee.
This would be a great stop for fresh local honey products if you’re visiting from out of town!

Educational, tasty, fun, the tour is overpriced by far for what it is, but it’s certainly worth a visit! (just don’t bother for the overpriced tour unless you don’t know wha to do with your money).
We were impressed and amazed at the variety of honeys… yum!

A really interesting place with ALL sorts of honey. I didn’t know, for example, that honey NEVER goes bad.
Not only does it sell honey — the variety of which makes it the go to place to buy honey, but it also serves as an educational place mainly geared towards kids.
I had my pre-​schooler go through it with their class of 20 kids and it was too many kids. I think it would be suitable tour for 10 or so kids MAX. Kids have such a short attention span that when they’re cooped up for too long they get stir crazy. Great and unique concept to be sure, but they’ve got to do a little better to make it a little better of an experience.
