sardinian beekeeping experience
Your experience with a beekeeper IN Sardinia
Discover the magical world of bees and honey with a Mannos beekeeper.
From February to November, you can take part in this unique adventure, immersing yourself in the beauty of the Sardinian countryside.
We promise you a stimulating experience for all your senses: the sense of smell with the scent of the oils and resins contained in the hives, sight with the admiration of the bees' labour, hearing with the sound of their unmistakable buzzing, and touch with the beeswax and raw pollen.
We certainly haven't forgotten about the sense of taste: the experience will culminate with a tasting of the bees' treasure, Sardinian honey, paired with tasty, fresh Sardinian products.
In addition, you can decide to enhance your beekeeping experience with an artisan workshop in the magical atmosphere of the apiary.
During the workshop the beekeeper will teach you how to use beeswax, herbs and oils to make candles, scented soaps and ointments.
Discover what exactly is in the food we eat, reconnect with nature and be surprised by the wonders of bees and honey.
