I had a very exciting adventure at the Museo de las Meil y Las Abejas!( the Museum of Honey and Bees) A group of us decided to venture and find this amazing museum.We ended up taking a wrong turn and sightseeing the beautiful countyside. We saw fields of sunflowers blooming and we knew we were in the right spot!!

I don't think I have ever seen so many sunflowers in one area before. Just beautiful. |
The museum was fabulous!!! There is a honey in history exhibit, guided tours to see the bee keepers work, workshops like farming,beekeeping, a gift shop and a restaurant. I almost forgot, a playground for the kids to run and play! Dee loved that part! I think we will be going back here because it is a great place to spend the day!!

The children were viewing the bees at work! |
Our tour was packed with information! The children had a presentation about the bee and the process to make honey. Then, it was time to see the bees in action! Everyone had a bee suit (you were covered from head to toe) and a short walk to the outdoor classroom. I couldn't believe how many bees were flying around.The children were amazing!! Some of them held the honey comb and others sat so calmly watching.

Here I am in my beeutiful bee suit holding the honey comb and bees all around! |

I think my cat's twin ended up there too! She looks just like her!! I could not believe it! Here is my shout out to Ellie- "We miss you Girl!" |
Number one rule: stay still and don't swat the bees. That was the hard part. My instinct at first was to move because I could hear them so loudly around my head. Don't worry I was "BEEEing" careful! The honey comb was heavier than I thought. I had a great experience!
Of course I had to get some of this wonderful honey. I saw these adorable hand decorated honey jars filled with their delicious honey.... I had to have it! I learned so many things about the importance of bees. If you ever get the experience to go to a bee farm, do it!!!
a little advice I will leave you with for today....
Looks like fun Kelly! You look beeutiful in your suit!!! Miss ya!
