Become a Beekeeper for a Day
This is not just a demonstration—it is a real hands-on beekeeping experience.
At Bee Love Farm, you will wear a professional beekeeping suit, open a working hive, hold frames covered with bees, and discover the hidden world inside a colony together with a local beekeeper.
Unlike larger commercial tours, groups are kept small, allowing for a personal and interactive experience where every guest can ask questions, participate, and get close to the bees.
You will taste local Azorean honey and bee products, create your own beeswax candle, and learn how bees contribute to the unique landscape and biodiversity of São Miguel.
The combination of authentic beekeeping, local products, personal guidance, and direct contact with the bees creates an experience that many guests describe as one of the highlights of their visit to the Azores.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
When you drive from Ginetes to Varzea on the regional road EN1-1A, there is a house with a green fence and the house number 17B in a left-hand curve. Along the fence, there are ample parking spaces where you can park.
What to expect
Step into the fascinating world of bees and discover authentic farm life on the beautiful island of São Miguel, Azores.
During this hands-on experience, you will meet a local beekeeper, learn about the importance of bees in nature, and explore the daily work behind sustainable beekeeping.
Wearing full protective clothing, you will visit a working apiary, observe a real beehive from up close, and have the opportunity to hold frames covered with thousands of bees under professional guidance.
