During the beekeeping season, guests can suit up alongside an experienced beekeeper, open an active hive, hold frames covered in hundreds of working bees and extract their own jar of fresh honey to take home. Throughout the year, indoor experiences such as honey spinning, honey tastings, craft workshops and the story of New Zealand's mānuka honey continue to introduce visitors to the world of bees. The goal isn't simply to show guests a beehive, but to leave them with a better understanding of the important role bees play in nature and our food systems.

Supporting local beekeepers

Buzzstop works closely with local beekeepers and is home to New Zealand's largest range of native and mānuka honey. The café sources local fruit, vegetables and juices wherever possible, while the bar showcases local craft beers, spirits and mead. Beyond supporting local producers, Buzzstop also provides free meeting space for community groups and donates tour vouchers to local schools and preschools to help with fundraising initiatives.
