We had an incredible experience with Paulo, I learnt so much which I can't wait to share with my primary school kids. Paulo's passion and commitment to bee keeping and the environment was all truly infectious and he gave us so much of his time answering our questions. The setting for his bee hives is just beautiful and the highlight was definitely the honey tasting (loved the ruby honey!) and jarring my own honey! Thank you Paulo, I highly recommend this experience for all the family!

We had a fantastic experience with Paulo yesterday! Paulo is full of passion for his bees! I have learnt so much about the bees, how they live, how they make honey...all that in a beautiful and safe environment and hands-on!!!!! The products he makes with the help of the bees are delicious. Different kinds of honeys, royal gelee, wax candles, etc...Paulo answered all our questions, was so interesting, generous with his time and kind. Really, this experience made our day!!!!

In the summer we took a guided tour of the beehives and it was spectacular, we had never done anything like that before! I just ordered a large jar of "Gold" honey and it arrived in two days! We loved it!
