Bees

The bees buzz and buzz all day long, making music over the blooming trees or flowers in the gardens. This wonderful team of bees is part of the ranch’s seasons.

Thanks to them we have been able to maintain the abundant diversity of plant species in this landscape. Several years ago the first boxes were installed to begin this wonderful experience. Currently there are two apiaries on each side of the ranch, which are maintained thanks to the support of Ercilia, Vero, Montse and some volunteers who have joined us intermittently.

The flowering of the ranch ranges from nopales, garambullos, palo dulce, huizaches, gatillos, blackberries and a variety of flowers in the orchard, including medicinal ones. The honey collected in this area is especially exquisite and not only that, it represents the important relationship and recognizes the role of these beautiful insects and the benefits they bring us.

Throughout the year the apiary is managed depending on the season, it is important to feed the bees in winter with their own honey and to have water sources constantly available. In spring, when the flowering begins, the bees are unleashed and visit every flower very early, thanks to the two apiaries the bees cover every area of the ranch and there is not one that they do not visit.

Inspirations

World Bee Day
World Bee Day was celebrated on May 20 to raise awareness about the importance of pollinators, the threats they face and their contribution to sustainable development. This is why we share the following documentary.

In the documentary “Guardians of the End of the World” we learn how Chilean bees struggle to survive from the hand of exceptional women and men who have dedicated their lives to take care of them. From scientists to small beekeepers, they all have in common a special and magnetic bond with the bees.
