Reviews

What a great time we had. Thomas was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was exciting to be up and close with the bees in the provided protective clothing. After we sat in a super spot, and we’re treated to delicious traditional Portuguese food drizzled with honey, which was accompanied by honey mead! What more could you ask for? 10 out of 10 😁❤️

Tripadvisor

A great experience. Tomàs takes you fully into his work as a beekeeper. He knows everything about bees. He likes to share his science and passion with others. In outfitted clothing, you go to see the bees and look for the queen bee! With luck you will find her. Tomàs also provides a delicious lunch. You will get a real honey experience: lavender honey, carob honey, etc. The most delicious combinations pass by. My husband and I have come to appreciate honey much more!
