Apiferro Mel crua del Montsec
Beekeeping Experience
Visit the bees and taste their honey in a unique setting, in the heart of the Montsec mountain range and with privileged views of the northern entrance to the Mont-Rebei Gorge.
The visit begins with a guided walk to the beehives, with an explanation of the characteristics of the territory, its fauna and flora and the role that bees play in the ecosystem.
Once we arrive at the settlement, we will put on our beekeeping suits and have direct contact with the bees, with an explanation of how the hive works and other interesting facts about this fascinating world.
Finally, a tasting will be held in the heart of nature, featuring the different types of honey that can be obtained throughout the year, accompanied by other local products.
Us
Apiferro is a small company started by Xavier Ferro, a biologist specializing in ecosystems and biodiversity. A native of the area, he learned the shepherd's trade from a young age, accompanying his grandfather through the mountains and meadows of Montstec, where he acquired a deep knowledge of the region.
Over the years, combining technical knowledge and experience, he ended up turning his hobby, beekeeping, into his profession, with the hope of living in the environment where he grew up, and doing so with respect and appreciation for nature in its wildest state.
Honey
Our honey is 100% pure, just as we find it in nature. Raw honey is honey that has not undergone any transformation from the time the bees produce it until it is packaged, and therefore retains all its properties intact.
It is an exclusive honey from Montsec, where aromatic and melliferous plants such as rosemary, thyme, lavender and savory are found, which provide fragrances and a flavor exclusive to the territory.
