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.

Included

Tasting of different types of honey.
Tasting of honey liqueur.
Use of professional protective clothing for bee inspection.
Guided tour with a professionally trained guide.

Not included

Despite the provision of professional beekeeping suits by the organizer, it is recommended to bring additional clothing with long pants and sleeves, as well as closed shoes, when visiting the farm.
