& CULINARY EXPERIENCE
Join us on the beautiful Killer Bees Honey mountaintop, with an iconic view of the Blue Ridge Mountains, for the Original Killer Bees Honey Tasting
Killer Bees Honey presents a delightfully delicious discussion and exploration of honey. Our experiences are guided by hive master and chief connoisseur, Sean Collinsworth. Sean is a certified North Carolina beekeeper, having managed bees for over 30 years. He is one of a handful of Americans to be certified with the Italian Register of Experts in the Sensory Analysis of Honey; fondly known as a “Honey Sommelier”. Like fine wine, pure honey is a product of a local terroir; the soil, water and climate all contribute to the complexity of regional honey flavors.

"Killer Bees is one of the great secrets of the Brevard/Western North Carolina area. My wife and I learned so much about these interesting creatures. Who would have known that bees are so interesting and complicated? The honey is the best we have ever tasted!"

"Killer Bees Honey was extremely easy to work with as we prepared to host 130 couples at the Old Edwards Inn. Denise helped us tailor a happy hour event that provided our members the opportunity to taste multiple honeys while mixing it with champagne. Denise went out of her way to make this event special and unique. Their knowledge of Bees and the Hive Life is extremely impressive. I would recommend them to anyone looking to host a great event."

I've attended a couple of Killer Bees presentations, and they are engaging and educational. The honey produced on their beautiful farm is as good as honey gets, and the story behind it is fascinating. It will change the way you think about bees and honey.
