Relaxing with bees

An opportunity to experience a slower and more relaxed dimension, far from daily stress, while tasting the products of Malga Riondera.

Two experiences at Malga Riondera, with the opportunity to enjoy a tasty snack at the end.

Saturday 25 May and 15 June

Try being a bee!

Gathered under the large gazebo, the thousands of different roles played by bees will be described, and then the theme of biodiversity will be told through the observation of bees and their important pollinating role. Following this, participants will try to simulate the activity of an entire beehive thanks to a cooperative game involving young and adults alike.

Finally, visitors will visit the didactic apiary, not far from the malga, where beekeeper Andrea will open a beehive and show bees engaged in their daily work, recounting the important moment of swarming and their original social organisation.

The experience will begin with a welcome moment at 2.30 p.m. and will end at 4.30 p.m., followed by the chance to enjoy a tasty snack with typical alpine products. By booking both the experience and the degustation, a malga cake will be included!

Book now and try being a bee!

For those who wish in the afternoon, the second activity dedicated to bees can be booked.

Relax in the Wellness apiary

This activity involves experiencing the Wellness Apiary, built directly by the managers of Malga Riondera, made entirely of larch wood from the surrounding forests, which spreads its resinous perfume and allows you to benefit from the following treatments:

• Api-Aroma: enjoy the scents of the beehive, honey, propolis, beeswax and benefit from the balsamic and fluidifying action of resins and essential oils, useful for the wellbeing of the entire respiratory system
• Api-Sound: benefit from the buzzing of bees that promotes relaxation and meditation thanks to the frequencies that offer a relaxing action in tune with the sound of nature

After a short presentation of the experience and the use of the wellness apiary by beekeeper Andrea, participants will enter the room where, comfortably seated on some deckchairs, they can relax and rest while observing, through some glass windows, the bees and their continuous work. After enjoying the bee-aroma and the bee-sound, participants will be able to prepare themselves an excellent herbal tea of melliferous flowers and sweeten it with Malga Riondera honey. The wellness room also features an engaging bee library with books suitable for both adults and children. The time for apitherapy is 45 minutes.

You can book your own one-hour shift from 17.00 to 20.00. If you book the second activity as well, you will receive a wonderful pure beeswax candle as a gift.

To enjoy the full experience, book the second activity here and relax in the apiary!
