Guardian experiences of the Melipona bee in Maní

Mexico - Yucatán - Mérida

Minimum 2 people to reserve
Days of operation: every day / Tour in shared service
Departure from Mérida

The operator will pick you up at your hotel where you are staying to start the journey to Maní. The honey of the melipona bee lies in the use they gave it for medicinal, nutritional and sweetening purposes. In Mani, Yucatan, ritual ceremonies such as the "U jaanli kab" (the food of the bees), and the "U jeets luumil kab" (the ideal conditions for the production of honey) are carried out, which are first fruits to favor the good weather and the good blooms of the field and for the next season of the honey harvest. The cultural survival of the use of the products of stingless bees among the inhabitants of Maní is firmly underpinned by their participation and management of indigenous herbalism and especially by the participation of their contemporary Mayan women, it is the ancestral ceremony in the Mayan language using elements of honey in a natural environment invoking the four cardinal points. On this tour you will be able to see the Melipona bee cultivation space, with a lot of luck you will meet a queen bee and you will taste the rich pure, ancestral and medicinal Melipona honey.
