So grateful to have found Two Hives as I have had hives for years, but my master Beekeeper moved away, so I was thrilled to find someone that will help me manage my bees right here in Austin!!

Came here to do their bee hive tour. The tour starts with an indoor informative session where you…read morelearn about the life cycle of bees. Then you put on protective gear and get to see a hive up close, and even get to taste a bit of honey from the hive. Tours are small and capped at 12 people, making them intimate and giving you the chance to get as up close to the hive as you want. The instructors are friendly and very knowledgeable. One aspect that could be improved is the quality of the protective gear. The suits have holes -- some have already been patched, and some still need to be fixed. Noticing some of these unpatched holes in my suit made me feel slightly less protected.

Took the Intro to Beekeeping class here. It was a really informative class. I wish the PowerPoint…read morehad been distributed, but I can understand how giving all the info away could hurt their business. The class is super casual, in what looks like a converted garage on their property. You get to check out the hives briefly before class starts, which is cool. Was surprised at the wide range of folks in the class. People of all walks of life really are drawn in by bees! It made me feel less like I stuck out like a sore thumb for sure. :) You can try on beekeeping suits in various styles which is also helpful. The only reason this class doesn't get 5 stars yet is the website advertises it as a 2 hour class but it was ready to go on for more than 3. Definitely clear your schedule. I had to leave at the 3 hour mark and wished I had known in advance.

Mark and Thien Gretchen (and their staff) are absolutely wonderful. In addition to offering…read morevarious in-person classes for new beekeepers or those just interested in bees, they host an almost weekly (Saturday mornings) FaceBook live broadcast where Mark goes over relevant topics. The equipment portion of the store is very well stocked and has pretty much anything a beekeeper could need (or want) at reasonable prices. The wax/honey/product portion of the store always has unique one-of-a kind items as well as the 'typical' items that folks regularly buy (i.e. honey, beeswax, candles, etc.). Though the store is usually always busy, Mark, Thien and other staff are never too busy to answer questions from customers. They also respond (amazingly quickly - far better than I think I would be) to emails with questions from beekeepers. They have queens (unmarked early on and marked later) available for re-queening each year, which is really great because re-queening is a regular part of beekeeping and being able to obtain them locally is great. Aside from being helpful at the store and in answering questions, everyone at Gretchen's Bee Ranch are just good people - people you'd want to be friends with even if you weren't customers. If you've never stopped buy, check this place out. If you are a beekeeper anywhere near Seguin, this is the place to come for all of your apiary needs. If you just want to learn more about bees, there is probably a class (either a limited in-person one, an on-line one or a no-limit in-person one) for you!

And we got to sample the different varieties of their honey! We even got to do a side by side comparison of their Texas honey vs a honey made in Mexico. And I gotta say - Texas honey ALL the way. I was blown away by the different flavors. Madagascar vanilla made with REAL vanilla bean BLEW my mind. Best honey I've ever had thus far in my life. Their orange and cinnamon was a close second. And of course just simple regular honey was eons better than the competition I tasted. And you can only buy those diff varieties there at their factory location! Husband had a great time, really made his day. I def recommend taking this tour if you want something cool and educational to do on a weekend! The tour is really affordable so that's also a nice plus :)
