In the skin of a beekeeper
Put on your outfit for a unique experience around lake Annecy!
You are not on the moon, but the cosmonaut-style outfit is essential to your safety.
For our project The Savoir-faire Loop, Damien will guide you and help you discover beekeeping. He will open a Warré hive (or ecological hive) to show you the labour of these little winged workers.
You’ll understand why these ladies are essential to biodiversity and more…
The fruit of their labour
End up with a honey tasting experience
Learning while enjoying delicious flavours: a winning combo for all those with a sweet tooth! Have a taste of the sweets and local products made by the bees and their beekeeper: the mountain honey branded Sources du lac d’Annecy is their most popular product. However, they also offer other flavours such as chestnut, acacia or propolis honey…

Why do bees fly in an 8 shaped motion?
When bees follow this movement, it’s meant to indicate a food source located at a larger distance. Bees use a complex and surprising communication system considering their small size. This system combines flight choreographies with vibration emissions, special buzzing sounds but also the production of pheromones.
