The program “BEE MATTERS”, supports women from the different communities that are dedicated to safeguard, protect, and produce this important endemic species in danger of extinction.
Discover the herbal and medical uses and be prepared for a unique honey tasting. Besides of this honey tasting, you will visit a typical Mayan shack and have an organic meal, prepared from the organic and self-sustainable products from the region.
We’ll begin by sharing the love and respect we have for our ancient Mayan bees and our commitment to preserving them. Get to know the importance of the bees in our regular life, the types of bees that are found in Mexico and in the state of Yucatan. This experience also includes a trip to San Miguel Arcangel nunnery. And why not? Get some handicrafts and souvenirs from our talented artisans.
You’ll have the opportunity to paint a wooden beehive box which will be donated to different communities of female beekeepers of melipona bees. Be patient and expect to receive a photograph when your painted beehive holds a new family, a new hive. Leave your footprint in this program and portray through painting your love and respect for life.
We really look forward to having you back so you can visit your own hive!
