Bee Farms Cameron Highlands

Monday, September 13, 2010

The Bee Farms in Cameron Highlands allow visitors and tourists to see how honey is cultivated here from bees on a moderate scale. The delicious nectar is harvested from the combs made by bees that are housed in an elevated wooden box. One such honey bee farm is located near Ringlet, in a secluded corner reached from a narrow alley branching off the main road.

A rather beefy middle aged Chinese man named 'Ah Choo' runs this farm, which is surrounded by patches of crops and gardens of plants. A small wooden bungalow sits in the middle, and at the sides, there are rows of elevated boxes housing honey bee colonies. During the afternoon, you can see hundreds of bees buzzing around the boxes, but don't get too near as these bees may sting if they perceive you as a threat.

Inside the bungalow, there is a small shop that retails the honey harvested from the farm. The honey, processed into different types of products, is packaged in bottles, jars and boxes, making it a good buy if you're into wholesome organic products. You can also visit another bee farm near Brinchang before Tringkap, a short drive down away from the Butterfly Garden.
