Celebrate the amazing honeybee! Join us at the ranch for a family-friendly event with beekeeping education, harvest demos, honey tastings & more. Plus, the release of our award-winning Hive Mind Honey Ale and honey food specials.

Join us at the Vista ranch for a celebration of pollinators, honeybees & all things HONEY, presented by the Texas Natural Beekeepers Association and Vista Brewing.

This is a free, family friendly, community event helps to raise money for the Texas Natural Beekeeper Association’s (TNBA) Youth Scholarship & Mentoring Program. This is a multi-year progressive program which teaches youth ages 12-17 about natural and sustainable beekeeping. The teaching apiary for this program is located on Vista's ranch.
