Tiroler Bienenwelt apiary

Experience a Tyrolean apiary in a 400 year old farmhouse and immerse into the world of bees.

Located in unique scenery in a 400 year old farmhouse in Bocking/Söll, at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser mountain chain, there is a very special apiary. It provides interesting information about the work with bee colonies as well as traditional Tyrolean agriculture, that is closely linked with honey production.

Immerse into the world of bees (Bienenwelt, in German) and watch a queen bee in the over-dimensional show beehive, so to speak in their living room. It will surprise you! Moreover you will get an insight into life in a beehive and the honey production cycle. Particularly interesting is the project “farm school”, that is to say special lessons for all the senses in the Tiroler Bienenwelt apiary with guessing games for kids, drawing competition and beehive mentoring.

In the farmer’s house, there is an adventure bee-keeping and a bee air cure house, where you can inhale the healthy bee and bee-hive air (apitherapy). Additionally, there is a museum where you can learn about the healing effect of bee products, including honey cures, propolis and honey beer, the “Imkerstüberl” which offers coffee, ice cream and soft drinks, and a little shop which sells bee products.
