Quick Details
Enjoy a Beekeeping Experience in São Miguel – Azores!
This bee farm was a wine production farm where old vines of different varieties can still be seen. The farm nowadays no longer produces wine and is populated by species native to the Azores Island and other important species for bees. Bees are incredible beings with a high importance for human beings! Do you want to know more about the wonderful world of bees?
In this immersive experience, you’ll take on the role of a true beekeeper. We start with a small briefing on safety measures, an explanation of what we are going to do and we move on to discovering the beehives. When opening the hive, you’ll discover the different varieties, how the hive is organized, what functions they perform throughout their lives and who knows… find the queen! At the end, the bees present you with a taste of honey fresh out of the hive and harvested by you.
What is included:
- Arrival at the farm and welcome by the farmer
- Guided tour of the farm
- Workshop about hives
- Visit the apiary (with bee suit)
- Honey tasting
After booking we will send all the details of the reservation.
If you wish to propose another day or time for the experience, send us a message: [email protected] and we will do our best to reschedule, or we can include one more experience for all day.
Reviews
My friend and I loved our time with Carla and her honeybees. She was very welcoming when we first arrived and very knowledgeable throughout our whole experience. She made us feel very comfortable around the bees and always explained what she was doing and why. And the honey is delicious! If you are in São Miguel and value local, unique experiences you should definitely pay a visit !
Amazing tour! Great to learn about the incredible and complex world of bees. The tour guide is super friendly and at the end we could even try delicious bread with honey and lemonade. A must-go!
We had a very special time today! the passion of the farmer for the world of bees really shows. Being able to wear the professional beekeeping gear and see a hive from close up were unique experiences. We also really enjoyed tasting the honey. We would love to do it again. Thank you for the wonderful personality and for giving us a glimpse into your beautiful world!
This was a fantastic experience! Carla is such a sweet person and really knows her way around bees. We felt very comfortable getting up close, and seeing the inner workings of the Hive. The honey itself is delicious, as is her lemonade. Definitely swing by here for a tour!
This was one of the best and most unique experiences during our time in Sao Miguel! As the owner only started hosting private tours to her apiary this year, this experience is not yet well known and even our tour guides were not familiar with it! With that said, it was still difficult getting a booking and it is only a matter of time before the word gets out! Definitely do this when you’re in Sao Miguel and it is definitely suitable for families with small children. An informative and interactive experience where you can get an inside look into the world of honeybees! Highly recommended!
