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.

I was leading a Nordic Walking group and this excursion was recommended. We were warned that there would be a short sharp trek up the hill but our hostess; Marleen talked about the Olives, Almonds and challenges with the current drought in her part of Spain on the way up. We were a larger than normal group so Marleen adapted the tour. Her passion for bees and all things ecological was apparent. She gave much information without too much overwhelming detail. We had a wonderful honey-tasting too. The Griffon & Egyptian vultures soaring high above were a bonus. Can highly recommend this experience.

Experiencing the complex world and secrets of bees and their production up close, through the sensitive gaze of beekeeper Marleen Schäfer, produces triple satisfaction: awakening 1.) our curiosity 2.) our admiration for these great little living beings. and 3.) our responsibility to preserve our planet. An unforgettable experience, different and original and, above all, WITH SENSE.
