Honey Farms in Orlando to Explore with Your Little Sweeties

|

If you’re looking for sticky-sweet adventures, try taking the family to a local honey farm or farmstand. Orlando is buzzing—literally!—with opportunities to learn about bees, sample delicious honey, and bring home syrupy souvenirs. It’s all part of the great landscape of farms in Orlando.

Honey Farms for Family Fun

Visiting Orlando honey farms and farmstands is about more than just sweet snacking. It can be a hands-on science lesson, an environmental experience, and a sensory adventure all rolled into one.

Kids may get to see where food comes from, learn how bees help pollinate our fruits and vegetables, and understand why these magical pollinators are so important to Florida agriculture.

Orlando Honey Farms & Farmstands

Our list of Orlando honey farms is in order of geographical area, starting with Orlando itself.

Webb’s Honey

15140 East Colonial Dr., Orlando, FL | (407) 568-7725

Webb’s Honey is a family‑run honey farm and storefront on the far east side of Orlando. A devastating electrical fire in November 2021 forced them to temporarily operate out of tents and trucks, but they have since rebuilt a storefront close to the original location.

At the new retail site, customers can sample several varieties of raw, unfiltered, local Florida honey. Plus, there is an assortment of beeswax candles, bee pollen, propolis products, honey candy and honey-based ChapStick. And expect to see cats and chickens roaming around the premises too, adding to the charm. The staff are always eager to share their knowledge about bees and point out the hives that are within eyes view.

It’s a small, rustic cabin where visitors can purchase from a selection of local honey varieties, such as Orange Blossom, Brazilian Wildflower and more.

Inside the storefront stand, you’ll find an assortment of honey products including honey sticks, jars, honey-infused soaps and sometimes homemade elderberry syrup. The walls feature numerous posters and educational pieces that my little honey’s enjoy reading and expect sightings of honeybees while on the grounds.

Black Hammock Bee Farm

Dennis “The Bee Guy” runs this second-generation working farm specializing in raising bees for honey production and pollination. Black Hammock Bee Farm offers educational tours and backyard beekeeping classes where guests can suit-up and walk through the hive yard to get up close to the bees and explore their operations. These experiences, popular with homeschool groups, 4‑H clubs, scouts and curious individuals alike, do require advance booking.

Black Hammock Bee Farm, of course, has an awesome store within it’s big green bee barn. Tons of honey, bee-themed knick-knacks, beekeeping equipment and more.

They offer a welcoming storefront stocked with raw local honey—typically Orange Blossom, Palmetto and Wildflower varieties—in sizes from one‑ to five‑pound jars (and even drums for honey addicts). You’ll also find beeswax and a full complement of beekeeping supplies like hives, protective wear, tools and swarm control gear.

D & J Apiary does not offer farm tours. However, they do offer scheduled beekeeping classes, including beginner, hive‑management and honey‑extraction sessions, inclusive of hands‑on experience.

Bee-Haven Honey Farm, Inc. 

9340 Hall Rd., Lakeland, FL | (863) 825-5245

Bee-Haven Honey was previously featured on USA Today’s 10Best list for the best honey in the country. So, yes, driving an hour south of Orlando seems like it’ll pay off by pleasing your palate.

Bee‑Haven is a family‑owned and operated apiary, founded in the early 1970s. They produce raw, unprocessed Florida honey, harvesting it directly from hive to jar with minimal handling, meaning no pasteurization and only coarse straining to preserve pollen and nutrients.

Bee-Haven offers a variety of honeys reflecting the Sunshine State’s native flora, including Orange Blossom, Gallberry (wildflower), Brazilian Pepper, Tupelo, Palmetto, and their signature Allergy Blend, along with flavored creamed honeys like cinnamon, strawberry, and elderberry.

The farm store sells honey in multiple container sizes—from small bears to bulk pails—alongside related items, like beeswax products, skincare, goat’s milk soap, honey candies, and samplers.

Tours aren’t available, but pop into the storefront when day-tripping to Lakeland for other family fun.

Sweet Bee Company produces 100% raw, unfiltered honey, offering popular varieties, like Orange Blossom, Wildflower and Tupelo, all completely natural, without heating, filtering or additives.

Rather than traditional building tours, they operate a cute and cozy self‑serve honey stand, called The Honey House, located right off their gravel farm road. Visitors can purchase honey and beeswax goods using cash or digital payments (like Venmo, Zelle). The stand is open sun‑up to sun‑down every day, so you can stop by anytime during daylight hours.

A local staple at Orlando-area farmers markets, Winter Park Honey specializes in raw, unfiltered honey in an impressive range of flavors.

Worthy-Buzzy Beyond the Farm

Savannah Bee Company

Savannah Bee Company’s Disney Springs location is a honey-themed boutique known for its warm hospitality, hands-on honey tastings, and hive-inspired beauty and gift products, all set within a family‑friendly setting.

The store offers a “Honey Bar” where visitors—kids included—can sample a wide variety of honeys (think Citrus‑Blossom, Tupelo, Wildflower, etc.) and even raw honeycomb. I found the staff to be extremely friendly to my taste-testing kids.

Occasionally, the staff hands out stickers or little educational freebies for young guests, too.

For those 21+, Savannah Bee Company has a “Mead Bar” with tastings. During this experience, my kids enjoyed coloring bee pictures at the small kids’ table.

Orlando is a Hive of Hope 

The City of Orlando maintains three official apiaries—located at Fire Station 1, Fire Station 2, and McQuigg Farm—with a total of ten beehives. As part of the Office of Sustainability and Resilience’s Green Works initiative, these apiaries serve as outdoor classrooms that teach people of all ages the science and art of beekeeping through hands-on instruction and field experience.

So far, more than 30 youth from City-run Kidz Zones—including Englewood and the Black Bee Honey program—have completed the beekeeping course. The initiative also supports pollinator habitat enhancement by planting pollinator-friendly gardens across the city.

Black Bee Honey empowers youth from historically underserved communities to transform local food deserts into thriving food oases. Operated by the Orlando Community & Youth Trust, Black Bee Honey has forged notable partnerships, such as with The Boheme at the Grand Bohemian Hotel, which debuted a celebrated Orange Blossom Cheesecake using their honey.
