Bookings to Visit the Queen are now closed for the 2021 season due to unpredictable weather. Please check our re-opening schedule beginning May 2022. We will start off talking about some of the history of Honey Bees, the different types of bees (queens, workers, drones) that we will see in the hive, the bee life-cycle, inner beehive activities, beehive equipment and more. We will then put on bee suits and visit a working beehive to see the bees in real life. Inside the hive we will find the queen and look for eggs, larva and pupa. We might even see a queen laying an egg. When finished at the hive, we will return to the house and answer any other questions about bees. Note: - Honey Bees are very sensitive to cold temperatures. In the unlikely event that outside temperatures drop to less than +5 deg C, the experience will be cancelled with full refunds. Other things to note Guests should be aware that there will be a high number of bees flying about once the hive is opened. This can be very intimidating to some people. Special Experience dates and times can be arranged, please send me a message with your preferred date/time.

Guests will meet the Host at a central location. This may or may not be at the foraging location. If needed the Host will shuttle guests to the foraged location. Each guest will be outfitted with the proper mushroom foraging tools and given a detailed explanation of what each piece of equipment is used for and how it is to be used. Guests will learn how to identify and recognize a few different species of wild mushrooms and have hands on experience learning about mycology and how to forage for wild mushrooms. Since there are thousands of species of mushrooms and fungi, only safe and edible mushrooms will be collected and learned about during this experience. Guests will spend 60-90min on a guided forage walking through mixed terrain in search of wild mushrooms. Once the experience is finished, the group will ensure we "leave no trace" and return back to the rendezvous where guests can provide feedback and be given the opportunity to purchase dried mushrooms previously foraged locally. (Mushroom Hunting is a very seasonal and temperamental activity, guests should be aware there is a small chance that fresh edible mushrooms may not be discovered during their experience however the Host guarantees that wild edible mushrooms will be integrated into the whole experience as well as a fulfilling learning experience!) Other things to note The guide will provide resources to help identify common edible mushrooms via literature and photos. There's a chance that not every foraging experience will result in edible mushrooms but be prepared to have a full day of learning and experiencing the outdoors!

For this trip, we travel down the historic Cowboy Trail to the Oldman River drainage. This beautiful landscape is situated within the Foothills of the Canadian Rockies and offers awe-inspiring vistas and streams with gin clear water. This is fly fishing at it's best. This trips starts at a local fly shop in Calgary where we get the latest fishing report and any last minute flies and gear for our adventure. From there, we will drive for approximately 2.5 hours to the Oldman River drainage where we will gear up and fish for Westslope Cutthroat Trout (and maybe the odd Whitefish & Bull Trout) in some of the most beautiful water in Alberta. These are some of my favourite fishing destinations, and I would love to share my knowledge and experience of this area with you. *This experience is only available between June 16 - October 31. **Please note that I list multiple experiences and this is an issue with the AirBnB calendar (booking) system.
