Beekeeper in Valencia: El Serralet, apitourism, and connecting with nature
At El Serralet, we are committed to promoting and raising awareness of beekeeping through apitourism. Our excursions allow visitors to learn firsthand about the work of a beekeeper in Valencia and the importance of bees in the balance of the ecosystem. First and foremost, it is important to remember that beekeepers in Valencia play a crucial role in preserving the environment. Bees are essential pollinators for plant reproduction and, therefore, for food production. In fact, according to studies, nearly 70% of crops worldwide depend on pollination by these tireless insects. On our apitourism excursions, we show how local beekeeping contributes to maintaining the biodiversity of Valencia’s flora and fauna.

We are sure that this experience will allow you to connect with nature in a different way and, at the same time, support environmental conservation and the promotion of sustainable beekeeping practices in our region.

Frequently asked questions
How long does an apitourism route last?
The entire experience lasts around two hours, including time to put on protective clothing, visit the apiary, learn about the world of bees, and sample different types of honey. It is a tour designed to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, learning and experiencing the activity in a comfortable and safe manner.
Can I bring my pet?
Yes, you can bring your pet. During the activity, it will stay in our enclosure, where it will remain calm while you visit the apiary. For safety reasons, pets are not allowed in the hive area, as there are no protective suits for animals and it could be dangerous for them.
Will I be able to purchase the honey that I am given to sample?
Of course. After the tasting, you can purchase all of our own honey, as well as handmade candles, gift packs, dispensers and other related products. Everything is made traditionally and with the same quality that you taste during the experience.
From what age can I bring children?
Children can participate in the experience from the age of 4–5, when they are old enough to wear the suit and follow the explanations. However, children and adults of any age can accompany the activity from our little house near the apiary, a safe space with adequate distance, even if they do not visit the hives.
How should I go or what should I bring?
We recommend wearing closed-toe trainers (boots are best) and comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. We provide all the necessary equipment for the experience (protective suit, gloves and other gear). Just bring your enthusiasm and a desire to learn.
What if someone is allergic to pollen or insect bites?
