Review Body: This was such a unique experience! Not only was the rooftop very special and chilled, the experience was also incredibly insightful and fun! The rooftop venue was glorious. It felt like the speakeasies in London, hidden from the world and an incredibly chilled oasis. While we were up there we felt like we were transported to an entirely different country. We're already planning our next trip back! At first we thought the experience was pretty random as it seemed to include lots of disconnected parts: organic farming, beekeeping and honey tasting/cocktails! But it turns out that it was intended to show us how incredibly interconnected our earth's ecosystem is. The quality of the soil influences the plants -> plants in turn affect the bees & the honey they produce -> and finally that affects the food & drinks that we consume! Clarence was super knowledgeable and interesting, and was able to answer all the questions we asked. We were there with a group of friends - it's perfect for couples or a small group who want to see a cool place and learn something new! There was also a family doing the experience with us and they seemed to be having lots of fun too! Fun fact: The bees here are rescued. When bees are discovered in housing estates or schools, they'll call Clarence who will come and rescue them, and house them in the apiary. We thought that made the experience extra, extra special!

Review Body: At the Sundowner you can learn how to farm your own herbs, spices and fruits from your balcony in Singapore! For someone like me who is terrible at keeping plants alive, the session was super informative and it inspired me to start farming my own basil (it's still alive!) Clarence was a super chill and cool host who knew pretty much EVERYTHING about organic farming and wild bees. I loved the honey tasting session where we learnt different ways to describe honey other that sweet - who knew it could be woody, floral, or fruity? The session ended with a cocktail customizing session, where you can pluck some herbs around the organic garden and use them to enhance the flavour of your drink. Overall an amazing experience and would highly recommend to couples who are looking to try something new for a date!

Review Body: Being on this secret rooftop felt like I was at an Australian countryside vineyard experience :) When we first stepped onto the whimsically decorated rooftop (you have to cross this beautiful pond and neon sign), Clarence plucked a spearmint for us to eat! We loved the entire experience — it was so chill and so special. The best part about this was of course, meeting and learning all about the bees, and tasting different types of honey after. Highly highly recommend this for anyone craving that overseas countryside experience :)

Review Body: Fun and educational session! If you want to experience something new apart from the same old same old stuff in "boring" Singapore, do give this bee discovery session a try! You'll be challenged to get out of your comfort zone, to go up close and personal with the bees and learn so much more about their life cycle and bust a few commonly held myths about these buzzing creatures. Best of all, you get to try and blind taste several variants of honey and make your very own honey-themed cocktail at the end!

Review Body: Very fun trip, Clarence is very knowledgeable about bees and nature. Took my wife there for her birthday and she loved it. I just wish there were separate booking categories for adults and children - of course kids should be able to experience this too, but it would make the experience perfect to have separate kids-focused and kids-free groups if booked far enough in advance.

Review Body: You’ve seen ten pictures and read about the amazing rooftop space that makes you feel Like you’ve escaped singapore. True. But it’s the staff that make this experience special. Genuinely engaging, you get the right mix of learning, hands on, and fun (with a little cocktail making). Really fun date night.

Singapore’s Best-Kept Secret. An Urban Farm, Rescued Bees & Cocktails
This is a hidden urban farm, a sanctuary for rescued honeybees, and a sunset lounge all in one. Even if you’ve lived in Singapore your whole life, you’ve probably never experienced anything like this.Tucked away in Bukit Timah, this 2-hour experience feels like a speakeasy for nature lovers. You’ll see how everything is connected—feed soil critters, create organic compost, and learn how healthy plants attract bees that help fruit grow. Then, suit up and meet rescued honeybees up close, taste rare honey, and forage fresh herbs to craft your own garden-infused cocktail.It’s the perfect way to celebrate a birthday or enjoy a unique day out with friends—part farm, part secret lounge, and all good vibes.Why This Experience Matters: Saving Singapore’s BeesBee-lieve it or not, without bees, there would be no human race. 90% of the world’s nutrition comes from crops pollinated by bees, but wild bee populations have declined by over 90% since the 1960s. In Singapore, rapid urbanisation is wiping out habitats, and most people still call pest control instead of rescuing bees.That’s why this experience isn’t just about honey and cocktails—it’s helping to save Singapore’s bees. This is home to rescued bees that would have otherwise been exterminated. Every ticket helps fund local bee rescues, supporting efforts to relocate bee colonies safely rather than destroying them.Your host has already saved over 5 million bees, working with local councils to change policies on bee extermination. And now, you get to be part of the movement—by learning, tasting, and supporting bee conservation in the most fun way possible.What to Expect:Hands-on Urban Farming – Dig into healthy soil, make organic compost, and see how tiny critters keep the farm alive.Meet Rescued Honeybees – Suit up and get up close with native honeybees while discovering why they’re crucial for our food and ecosystem.Cocktails & Honey Tasting – Taste rare, locally harvested honey and mix your own cocktail (or mocktail) with freshly foraged herbs.Birthday Celebrations:Celebrating a birthday? Let the hosts know in advance—they’ll prepare a little surprise for the special birthday guest! 🎁Good to Know:Photos Included – Your hosts will capture the best moments for you.Family-Friendly (Ages 3+) – Great for kids and adults alike!Pet-Friendly – Furry friends are welcome. đŸ¶Wear Closed-Toe Shoes – You’ll be climbing stairs and exploring the farm.Severe Bee Allergy? – This might not be the best fit for you.
