    Janet offers garden tours of about 75-80 minutes for up to 15 people at a flat rate of $150…read more Flexible on days and times. She instills the importance of bees to plants and the stark difference in crops from non-pollinated vs pollinated. She has, in her words, a "small yard homestead." The tour includes her two gardens, tangible demos of what she can make from her bounty, chicken and horse feeding, and viewing placards of beehives and the honey extraction process... plus the beehive box, protective suits and bee frames... just NO bees, forewarning! You can tour the honey house and view the equipment for her honey operation, and sample her honey, plus her lotions and balms. Our group bought the large 12 oz size! Overall an informative tour! But the main attraction of bees could not be witnessed due to the risk of being stung. Janet had a small hive that she showed to us from a distance.

    I was introduced to Backyard Bees by Zama Tea & Kobucha. Thank you for your wonderful partnership…read moreto support small businesses and "shop local" preferences! I'm fond of Old Town Tustin and my husband is fond of tea, so we didn't hesitate to check out the little red building. Being relatively new to the area, I began experiencing sinus issues in the mornings. Since I didn't have a cold, my body could have been resisting local pollen and other airborne allergens. A friend suggested that every morning, I take a small spoonful raw, unprocessed honey harvested as close to my neighborhood as possible. The idea is to consistently expose my immune system to become familiar and "play nice" with the allergens. Zama carries BB honey from good ol' Tustin Ranch, Yorba Linda, and Laguna Niguel. I couldn't get closer to home than T-R! While I'm not certain this natural approach is effective, my sinuses have been happier... and my husband said the honey with its antioxidants is healthier than processed sugar. I also learned that BB sells honey at the Tustin Farmers Market on Wednesdays and that funds support efforts to save the bees. The amount of honey it's able to supply depends on the bees as well as rainfall & humidity. * Praying against water-shortages and drought.*

    I've been ordering from Hacea for the past 2 to 3 years, so I feel like I can give a pretty honest…read morereview. So far, they are my favorite vendor for green coffee. They have a great selection, with new arrivals showing up all the time, and their prices are excellent, even with all the recent tariffs. They also offer substantial discounts when ordering 2 KG bags (And especially the 20KG/44lbs bags). I've never been disappointed with the quality. In fact, their coffees seem to have fewer outliers and defective beans in any given batch than what I've experienced from other vendors. That's not meant as a scientific statement but just my personal observation in the past few years, ordering from about 5 other vendors that cater to home roasters. I also really appreciate their flavor descriptions. They're not overly abstract or filled with tasting notes that leave me wondering what I'm supposed to be looking for. Most of the time, I actually agree with them. I just need to get my hands on a starfruit one of these days to confirm whether that's really in there. Every coffee includes detailed information about altitude, growing region, processing, and other factors that help me make an informed decision. They even include harvest and arrival dates. Some other vendors actually hide that info. And if responsive, friendly customer service is important to you, that's another area where Hacea really shines. I've experienced it first hand when I messed up an order. I'll keep coming back. That probably says more than anything else.

If you ever wanted to learn the how and what of coffee, this will open your world. Note: they sell green beans for people and businesses to roast. You won't find a coffee shop here, just awesome customer service and a place to geek out.
