Your professional guide will then lead you through a real inspection of an active beehive.

I sent multiple emails, probably 6 in all. I started before I left the US and continued when I arrived. I am also a beekeeper and had a few questions about the adventure. Nothing special, I just wanted to communicate w/the folks before hand and let them know I wanted to discuss the uniqueness of beekeeping in the Cayman's during my visit, if possible. Never did receive a reply...

Would definitely recommend this tour if you visit the island. Jamaal has so much information and you can tell he loves doing this. We were lucky enough to have his wife on our tour.
Even our kids enjoyed it. Only takes a couple hours and we’ll worth it.

Had a great apiary tour in March of 2019 -- got to see a different part of the island and mix it up vs just ocean and beach activities. Got this tour as a gift for my brother and sister-in-law and joined them for the tour to participate in the adventure. Jamaal picked us up at our lodging and answered tons of bee questions along the way as he brought us to his apiary. He's extremely knowledgeable and just generally a nice guy. It was really interesting to see the bee hives and get to scrape out honey into a small jar to take away. I'd highly recommend this trip and look forward to Jamaal continuing to grow the apiary!

Jamaal was friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about bees. He answered all our questions and had a good sense of humor about it. The bees were fascinating to see up close, and the honey we tried was delicious. I’d recommend the tour to anyone interested. It’s a small but growing operation, and we had a great time.
