If you are an environmentalist or enjoy living in a peaceful, beautiful and natural setting, then the Bohol Bee Farm is definitely for you. The Bohol Bee Farm was our first destination for our day trip. Situated within Panglao Island, Bohol, the Bohol Bee Farm provides visitors with a tour of the bee farm where one can get to learn about some fresh, natural herbs used in flavoring favorite dishes as well as herbs used as home remedies. One can also learn about the life cycle of the bees. Visiting the Bohol Bee Farm is a good opportunity for us to learn about the importance of bees to our ecosystem.
Upon arrival, we immediately explored the area. Going down a flight of stairs was the Bohol Bee Farm Restaurant. Every meal that they serve is prepared with different combinations of fresh and natural ingredients straight from the farm. Further down the stairs was a terrace with a spectacular view of the Bohol sea. One could enjoy the breathtaking view and relaxing sound of the ocean. The ambiance was very peaceful and relaxing. We stood still as we watch the waves roll in and pound against the rocks.
In order to make the best out of our visit in Bohol Bee Farm, we decided to take the tour. Our first stop was the garden where they grow the various herbs, including basil, parsley, peppermint, tarragon, lemongrass, coriander and oregano amon
g others. These herbs are used in flavoring the dishes served in the Bohol Bee Farm Restaurant to ensure a healthy diet for their customers. Our second stop was where the bee colonies are found. One thing that we’ve learned is that the queen bee and the worker bees, who are all female, does all of the work in a beehive colony. However, the drones, who are all male, are responsible for mating with the queen bee and die immediately after mating. As the tour guide says, at least they die happy! Our third stop was the sewing and crafting area where they use many different machines to make the raffia bags, mats and other native products and accessories.
Towards the end of the tour, we went to The Buzzz Ice Cream Shop that sells homemade ice cream. Although they made the typical flavors like chocolate, mango, buko, and avocado among others, what intrigued us to buy was the Malunggay flavor. As we all tried it, the very first bite gave a very rich and unique taste, leaving us wanting for more.
Afterwards, we decided to visit the gift shop. They sell various native products such as soaps, raffia bags and accessories as well as ingredients such as pure honey, pesto spread, mango spread, jams, wine, herbs and other delicacies.
The Bohol Bee Farm is definitely a tourist spot worth visiting. If you want to experience living a healthy lifestyle or help promote a better environment by learning about organic farming, or need a nice and quiet getaway surrounded by beautiful greenery, then you should consider staying at the Bohol Bee Farm. The Bohol Bee Farm has everything you need to ensure that your vacation will be a memorable and a unique travel experience.
