Our late founder, Ishai Zeldner, always wanted a place to host people from all over the world, and blow their minds around the vast array of flavors, colors and textures of varietal honey. Now you can experience the fruits of our labor, from a family business that has been through it all over the last 42 years, and counting.

Taste 30+ varietal honeys from all over the world. Relax in our serene outdoor courtyard with a few friends and a bottle of mead. Wander throughout our expansive pollinator gardens and learn about the process surrounding the production of honey, and how that relates to the full circle of plants, bees, honey, and you.

Dogs are welcomed. No outside food and drink allowed.

Experience the full breadth of The HIVE! Taste some of the best mead from across the country and enjoy local farm to fork seasonal culinary creations. All our tableware is composable and/or reusable.

The Hive resembles an upscale wine tasting room, with a rustic wood-clad bar where visitors stand while an employee behind the bar offers honey samples. Each honey is surprisingly unique, with its own distinct color, aroma and flavor profile.
