Activity for families
You can bring your little ones along, because it's an activity they'll love: they'll be amazed, they'll learn, and they'll enjoy the experience with incredible enthusiasm.
Special memory
The experience of getting close to bees, observing them up close and feeling how they work is something unique. Can you imagine being able to experience it first-hand?
Long-standing traditions
You will discover how honey has been produced traditionally, how to enjoy it at home and, of course, you will be able to taste it fresh from the hive.
Beekeeping in Segària.
Nature, tradition and sustainability.
Discover a fascinating world that has been passed down from generation to generation with the help of our family.
Experience beekeeping from the inside, learn how bees work in a privileged environment such as the Sierra de Segària, and enjoy an authentic, intimate experience steeped in tradition.
Craftsmanship, purity and quality as our guiding principle.
At El Serralet, we produce our honey using a respectful and completely natural process.
We accompany the bees at every stage, caring for the hive so that every drop retains its flavour, aroma and all its properties intact.
We want you to learn more about how we work and why our honey is 100% pure, full of flavour and steeped in a history that lives on in our family.

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?
If you are allergic to pollen or bee stings, please consult us before your visit.
It is important that we are aware of any relevant issues you may have so that we can pay the utmost attention to safety measures.
