Beekeeper for a day in Braojos de la Sierra

First know the functioning of the hive through an informative talk about life and the social bees organization and work of the beekeeper: surveillance of the normal development of the hive, placement of wax and tensioning wire in pictures, extraction of honey in the honeycomb and manual centrifuge, etc.

Then we will give a ride to the Apiary (accompanied with description of the flora of the place according to the doubts and questions of visitors) to put into practice the knowledge acquired.

Finally we will have a workshop of the honey extraction so that you can get a complete experience.
