”KYPSÈLI”: THE BEE’s WORKSHOP
In Ktima Bellou we produce our own honey; bees pasture from the farm’s flowers, as well as Mt Olympus’ forest flora. Our beekeeper, Mr Dimitris Kotikas, initiates our guests to the magical world of “kypsèli” – the beehive workshop.
This activity is available exclusively to our hotel guests and takes place from May through September.
The activity covers the following;
- At first, the participants get theoretically introduced to the bee society receiving some basic knowledge about this magical world.
- At the same time they become acquainted with and taste bees’ products - pollen, propolis and their uses.
- Central part of the activity constitutes the detailed honey tasting, of three types of honey with parallel food combinations.
- Right afterwards, the guests get briefly familiar with the inner workings and handling of the beehive, on a theoretical level.
- In the final stage, guests donn the necessary protective equipment and visit our farm's beehives having an in situ practical experience in beekeeping and honey production.
