ALL on-site Bee Experience Tours require a Waiver of Liability agreement. This agreement ensures that you or the parent / legal guardian understands the inherent risk around a working bee hive or on a bee farm. You agree that we will not be held liable for bee stings, allergic reactions, or unsafe behavior by participants of your tour, as well as our right to refuse a participant a tour if we deem they are acting dangerously at the apiary and near the beehives. We do everything possible to prevent bee stings, and most tours go without any stings. However, it can happen. This understanding is for our protection and ours.
SC Law: “WARNING! Under South Carolina law, an agritourism professional is not liable for an injury to or the death of a participant in an agritourism activity resulting from an inherent risk associated with the agritourism activity”.
Winter Months: The immersive tour is rarely viable from Dec – Feb. The temperature needs to be above 60 degrees to open a live hive. The standard tour is available, with the observation hive, but they will be less active.
