At Terra de Mar, we love to offer our guests the opportunity to enjoy experiences that connect deeply with nature and local culture.

One of the most enriching activities you can do during your stay is a visit to Miel Montgó, a beekeeping farm located in the Montgó Natural Park, in the province of Alicante, between the towns of Dénia and Jávea.

Here, you will not only discover the exciting world of beekeeping, but also learn about the importance of bees in the conservation of the environment and biodiversity.

A unique beekeeping experience

The Miel Montgó beekeeping experience begins with a relaxing walk through the beautiful landscapes of the Montgó Natural Park, considered one of the most biodiverse mountains in Europe.

Throughout the tour, an expert guide will explain the local botany and the history that has shaped this incredible natural environment.

As you go along, you will learn about the work of the beekeeper and his relationship with the Montgó flora, until you reach the beehives, where you will have the opportunity to see how the bees work up close.

The activity not only immerses you in the fascinating world of these small but essential pollinators, but also raises awareness of the importance of protecting them.

Bees are responsible for the pollination of approximately 75% of the food we eat, yet 37% of bees in Europe are in decline.

Moreover, their economic contribution is immense, with an estimated value of more than 2.4 billion euros in Spain alone, as they play a crucial role in agriculture.

After meeting the bees and learning about their impact on the environment, you can enjoy a delicious honey tasting.

Each variety reflects the richness of the Montgó, and you will be able to savour the differences brought by the different flowers and honey plants of the area.

Experience beekeeping for a day

Another of the experiences you can live in Miel Montgó is the opportunity to become a beekeeper for a day.

During this approximately two-hour activity, you will be immersed in the work of a beekeeper, starting with a breakfast with local products.

Afterwards, you will put on a beekeeper's suit and go to a beehive, where you will learn how to identify bees, their work as pollinators and the process of honey production.

It is an educational and hands-on experience that will make you feel part of the swarm.

Apis gastronomic: a fusion of nature and haute cuisine

Ideal for small groups of up to 14 people, it is an opportunity to explore how the flavours of honey can be enhanced in high quality gastronomy.

Sponsor a beehive

The programme of sponsorship of beehives Miel Montgó is aimed at companies and professionals interested in supporting the protection of bees and biodiversity.

This initiative seeks to raise awareness of the urgent need to care for these vital insects for our ecosystem.

By sponsoring a beehive, companies not only help to protect the environment and collaborate in the pollination of Montgó, but also have access to a series of benefits.

These include personalised beekeeping tours, the delivery of the honey harvest from your sponsored hive, and the possibility of labelling the honey containers with your corporate logo.

In addition, the sponsors receive an indigenous honey plant as a symbol of their commitment to biodiversity.

Miel Montgó also organises a lunch to present the harvest, where the sponsors can learn about the work carried out on the farm and share this experience with other participants.
