Private Activity Full Day Bee Matters Protect a Bee
Overview
This is a tourism product developed out of the great love and respect we have for our ancestral Mayan bees and the commitment to preserve them.
Bee Matters® goes beyond a tour of a melipona bee as it is an experience that leaves a positive mark not only on the communities that strive to preserve the melipona bee but also on each one of those who participate.
Bee Matters® more than a tour because bees matter to us.
What's Included
- Lunch Regional food in an authentic Mayan house. Three times with flavored water.
- All Fees and Taxes
- Air-conditioned vehicle
- Honey tasting
- 1 wooden box (beehive house) to decorate, 1 for every 4 people. With material for decoration
- Certified Guide
- Tips to guides and drivers, personal expenses
Meeting and Pickup
We go through our clients to the motor lobby of their hotel; both for Pick up and Drop off. The point to go through them is preferably a hotel, otherwise it will be a meeting point such as the "Monument to the Homeland"
What To Expect
Bee Matters ® experience recognized by the Ministry of Tourism of Mexico with the 2024 Mexican Tourism Product Innovation award
This activity takes place in the Magic Town of Maní, where we will get to know the melipona bee up close, how it feeds and why its conservation is important, as well as the herbal and medicinal uses of honey.
A honey tasting is carried out and the 2 types of hive houses that are currently used are shown. Our BEE MATTERS® program aims to support women from different communities who are dedicated to safeguarding this important endangered species. Leave your mark by expressing your love and respect for life and bees through the painting of a box that is donated to communities of meliponiculturists.
Enjoy eating dishes made with organic products that the chefs themselves grow and harvest in a Mayan house.
