La Ruche des Puys

Discover a remarkable environment during a fun and educational guided tour. Know everything about the work of the bee. Observe the workers in the glass hives, then live in a hive with a macro camera.
During a fun and educational visit, we first present to you how the life of bees is organized in the hive.
Subsequently, you will discover the essential role of the bee in our environment using the “theater of nature”.
Then you can observe the bees safely in the glass hives. Then comes the most spectacular moment, where we will open a hive behind glass. Thanks to a macro-video system we go inside the cells!
At the honey house, you will attend the demonstration of honey extraction. And to end this journey well, we offer you a tasting of honey and homemade products.
