Killarney Bee Walks and Honey
Killarney Bee Walks and Honey is a twenty acre farm near Killarney, County Kerry, producing raw meadow flower honey from its own hives and running beekeeping walks.
Killarney Bee Walks and Honey is a traditional twenty acre farm about three kilometres from Killarney town, along the Wild Atlantic Way.
The land is ringed with bee loving hedgerows of blackthorn, gorse, oak, rowan, sycamore and whitethorn, and two and a half acres of it are given over to a bee meadow of pollinator flowers and wildflowers. The hives sit in the farm's own apiary, and the honey is taken off at the end of July.
Visitors can walk the meadow path, watch the bees working in observation hives at the visitor centre, then call into the honey house to taste the raw honey and fill a jar to take home. The farm sells its Meadow Flower Honey in 227g and 340g jars, along with beeswax candles and lip balm. That honey took a silver medal at Blás na hÉireann, and the farm also runs guided, group and educational beekeeping walks.

We had such a wonderful afternoon at the Honey Experience in Killarney with Tim! 🐝🍯 It was fascinating to learn all about honeybees and bumblebees, and to get a real insight into the life of a honey maker. We stepped into Tim’s shoes for a few hours — putting on the bee suit, learning about the hives, and filling our very own jar of delicious honey. The experience was both educational and great fun. The honey tasting was a real highlight, and to finish the afternoon, we enjoyed the most lovely homemade scones with jam, made by Tim’s wife. Such a thoughtful and delicious ending! 🫖🍓 A perfect afternoon for anyone who loves nature & authentic local experiences.
Tim is the kindest, gentlest human. He has an amazing sense for people, understood who was nervous and who wanted to know more! He is so knowledgeable and has an ease about him, that makes spending time with him so lovely. You can tell he loves sharing his knowledge with others. This was time and money well spent. Walking to the hives, seeing the bees in action, seeing them dance, the wax, the flowers, to the end product of tasting honey! And fresh homemade scones!! Thank you! An amazing memory for my family. We each got to take home a jar of fresh honey, wax melts, and a little honey dipper which made the experience even sweeter. 🐝💫
