What to expect
El Gastor
I invite you to come visit the apiary and experience the beauty and fascination of beekeeping. After a brief introduction to the life of bees and beekeeping, we will put on our protective clothing and set off to the bee-colonies. Together we will go find the queen, watch bees dance and seek out male bees – the drones. You will discover how bees make comb and even bread, the bee-bread. And you will learn how to distinguish the finished honey from the nectar stored in the comb. Of course your day wouldn´t be complete without trying the delicious honey yourself.
