Enjoy a beekeeping tour and honey tasting close to Coruche!

The Bee-Hive Expedition is a tour that offers participants the opportunity to explore the fascinating world of bees and their hives.

During the visit, participants are guided by a beekeeping expert, who provides detailed information about bee behavior, their role in the ecosystem and the importance of pollination.

The expedition begins with an introduction to the necessary protective equipment and safety rules to follow during a visit. Participants are then taken to an area where the hives are located.

Upon arriving close to the hives, participants have the opportunity to observe the bees in action, while the guide explains in detail how the hive works and the bees’ social organization. It’s about observing the different possible castes of bees, including the queen bee, workers and drones, and learning about their specific role within the colony.

During the expedition, participants also have the opportunity to have hands-on experience with bees. Under the guide’s supervision, activities can be carried out such as identifying the queen inside the hive, handling honeycomb frames and even collecting fresh honey directly from the hives.

Additionally, the guide will be on hand to answer any questions attendees may have about bees or beekeeping in general.

The Bee-Hive Expedition offers a unique and immersive educational experience, providing a deeper understanding of the importance of bees and encouraging the conservation of these specific insects to our ecology.

Wonderful experience! Ana Ferreira

A huge thank you to Edite and Luís for the wonderful experience they provided us, our first approach to beekeeping could not have been better🤩. It was a pleasure to get to know your space, learn from you about the life of bees (your sharing was fantastic!! immense wisdom), try the farm's fabulous natural products (that mead, that honeycomb!👌👌👌) and of course, being able to meeting two such helpful and friendly people. We hope to return again one day soon, thank you very much for your warm welcome and best wishes for happiness and success, may your little bees be very healthy and busy😊. Kisses, Ana&Hugo.

We learned so much! Elsa Silva

It was a wonderful experience, a day well spent! We almost felt like we had gone on a retreat. The peace of the place, the buzzing of the bees, the taste of delicious honey, the friendliness of Edite and Hernani who welcomed us like family made the experience remarkable. FABULOUS! We went as a family, with our 4 year old son and the attention, friendliness and care they gave us was phenomenal. Our son LOVED it. They are people who genuinely love what they do and are able to convey that pleasure to us. We learned so much! We are very grateful.

A unique experience! Duarte Loureiro Borges

A unique experience that not only makes us discover the magical and impressive world of bees but also makes us aware of how the climate impacts caused by us are damaging our planet. It is a relevant, unique and important experience told by Edite, to whom we are very grateful for her mission and the morning she gave us! Thank you for being an excellent host and thank you for the mission you committed to with this magical place.
