Bee Matters® is an experience born from a deep respect for the ancestral Mayan bees and a commitment to help preserve them. Set around the melipona bee, it goes beyond a simple tour to offer a meaningful encounter with the insects, the people who protect them and the traditions linked to them.
Along the way you will learn about the melipona bee’s place in local culture and the conservation efforts carried out by communities that strive to preserve the species. The experience is designed to leave a positive mark on those communities as well as on participants, offering insight into why these ancestral Mayan bees matter and how local initiatives support their survival. Overall, Bee Matters® combines education about the bees with an opportunity to connect with the people and values behind their protection.
