This experience begins…

by walking down the path of our picturesque village, Myli, among traditional houses, cisterns, donkeys, age-old trees and small streams.  

The hosts, Gabriel and Marianna love bees and beekeeping and are delighted to share their knowledge and experiences.

We’ll talk about…

• this unique, precious creature, the bee and learn fascinating facts about it.
• the bees’ colonies, their lives, their behaviour and all the supreme beehive products we enjoy because of them.
• the bees’ important work, how essential they are to our lives and how we can help them.

We’ll also find out about beekeeping secrets, about the beekeeper’s life and work and their equipment.

What we’ll do…

• Safely see how a colony works in real conditions through an observation box/beehive with glass panes.
• Spot the differences between worker bees and drones, identify the tiny eggs the queen bee lays, the larvae and the pupae and if her majesty (the queen bee) deems us worthy, she’ll grace us with her appearance! 
• See and recognize the bees’ food such as, nectar, honey, pollen, bee bread and royal jelly, whichever is stored in the frames. 
• Taste various kinds of honey, from various areas and various seasons and try pollen, propolis and beeswax cream.
• Try a few different kinds of treats combined with beehive products.
• Try a beekeeper’s suit on & take pictures.

You’ll also be able to buy beehive & other local products in our traditional shop if you wish.
