Jerez, Spain - Miel de Rancho Cortesano

October 24, 2015

The Campo de la Miel has 25 years’ experience with beekeeping.  The farm has 2,000 hives where they collect the honey, pollen, and propolis to sell in their shop.  They make breads and lotions for sale from the hive products.  The farm also has a tasty vegetarian restaurant where we had lunch.  As part of our tour we got to get decked out in the beekeeping gear see a hive get opened.  I really enjoyed being around all the bees again.  Our last activity of the tour was picking out a pumpkin and carving it.  The lady giving the tour was very funny trying to explain the pumpkin carving techniques.  She would say that there was really no need to tell us Americans how to properly carve a pumpkin.  I think that Owen’s favorite part was the playground and chickens.
