Let's dispel a myth: the bees do not sting. They are too busy with their work to pay any attention to you! But to be on the safe side, you'll slip into a beekeeper's outfit right away: a protective layer that covers you from head to toe.
Thanasis and Elena will explain a few rules for managing these insects, from adult specimens...to baby bees!
Keep your camera to hand, because the flight of the guard bees as they open the cover of the hive makes quite an impression. They defend the riches inside: honey, propolis, pollen, royal jelly and wax.
But the most astonishing moment arrives when Thanasis shows you what goes on in a hive, where tens of thousands of bees work tirelessly in a space spanning just 50 centimeters.
It only looks like chaos on the surface - in reality, each member of the hive has a specific role, and a career ahead of them: from the humble sweeper to the forager beewho takes on the challenges of the outside world, searching for nectar, pollen, propolis and water.
An incredible miniature world that will fill your memory - and that of your phone - with unforgettable images.
But that’s not all. Elena will offer you a taste of spring, summer and winter honey and you'll enjoy a typical beekeeper's snack, before the finale: on Mount Enos, you will take a trip to see the rare black fir of Kefalonia.
