About this experience

Ditch the crowded cruise excursions and experience the real Cozumel on this immersive, locally hosted adventure. Step into the jungle to visit a hidden stingless bee farn, where Señora Martha, a passionate local bee-keeping expert, rescues and cares for the sacred Melipona bee—a gentle species that has played a vital role in Mayan culture and the ecosystem for centuries.

Enjoy authentic tastings, interactive cultural activities, and a deep connection to local life—all in one unforgettable experience.

Long before tours were ever offered, Señora Martha’s only goal was to grow fruits and vegetables for her family. She built a greenhouse, planted everything by hand—but soon realized something was missing: pollinators. Without bees, nothing would grow.

That’s when she discovered the world of bees—and most importantly, the Melipona, a stingless native bee that lives in harmony with the jungle. Over time, that passion became a mission: to rescue hives
