1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)

Visit Margaridas Apiculture in Lagoa, São Miguel, for a practical introduction to the world of bees and beekeeping. After a brief explanation about bee biology and safety rules, you will put on protective equipment and visit the hives to observe the colony's organization, learn about the functions of each bee, and perhaps spot the queen. The experience, conducted in a group, is limited to 10 participants and ends with a tasting of different Azores honeys—all in an old pasture area that has been reforested with native honey-producing species.
