Busy bees in Warkworth

Watch a queen honey bee laying her eggs and worker bees coming and going from the hive at New Zealand's largest live bee display.

Set into a wall inside the shop at the Honey Centre in Warkworth, the see-through hive gives visitors first-hand education and insight into its workings all year round.

Admission to the centre is free, as are honey tastings. There's also a cafe on site and a one-hour Sheep-n-Show presentation that includes shearing and dogs rounding up sheep.

The centre is on the corner of SH1 and Perry Rd, 4km south of Warkworth. Open 9am to 5pm daily.
