Are you curious about the honey-making process? If so, the Boquete Bee Tour is an excellent experience to include in your itinerary. At the same location, we also offer a honey-tasting activity that you can add to your visit. Situated at an altitude of over 1,600 meters above sea level, this private estate features coffee and tea plantations. The surrounding area is rich in native vegetation and flowers, which provide sustenance for these pollinators of Boquete’s cloud and tropical forests. Bees play a fundamental role in the ecosystem and are highly beneficial to humans.
Join your guide for a short, 20-minute walk to the beehives. This experience offers a comprehensive tour of the apiary, where you can observe the various types of bees working tirelessly to produce honey. Learn about their history, habitat, care, and development.
To participate in the Boquete Bee Tour, you will need to wear appropriate safety gear upon reaching the hives. Your guide will assist you in putting on protective suits and face veils. This will allow you to open one of the hives and observe its inner workings—the place where bees store honey, lay eggs, and develop within their natural habitat. The use of smoke is required during the activity. Please follow the instructions provided by your guide—an expert who is truly passionate about their work—to ensure a safe experience.
