A soothing hum
Barefooting and multisensory experience in an apiary
WHAT TO EXPECT/ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Relaxing and health-promoting multisensory experience in contact with nature. The activity begins with a sensory path where you can walk barefoot among stones, water, and bark to clear the mind and relax the body in the company of the scents of aromatic herbs. An immersion of wellness in the wonderful world of bees among the intense scent of the hives, the hypnotic buzz, and their incessant work seen up close. Enter the apiary where you can both breathe the air of the hive (beehive air) scented with honey, pollen, wax, and propolis and listen to the buzzing of the bees (beehumming) to relax the mind and body. Not just bees: meet the friendly Nerina and Desiré sheep, along with ducks and rabbits. And finally... taste our honey!
INTERESTING FACTS/INFO
The holistic apiary is a facility that has beehives connected to it on the outside. The air from the hives fills the environment inside the apiary with scents and sounds. The beehives are connected to the facility via mesh-protected openings. Our apiary is set against the stunning backdrop of a tiny, picturesque mountain village up high with breathtaking views of the mountain ranges all around.
