Beekeeping Experience in Kastna

Guests of the Meierei have an exclusive opportunity to discover the world of bees on a guided visit to a beekeeping farm in Kastna. Here, the honey “Aeglane hetk” (“A Slow Moment”) is produced from the flowers of coastal meadows.Together with the beekeeper, you will inspect the hives and learn how work is divided within a bee colony, as well as the differences between worker bees, drones, and the queen.
