The honey of the melipona bee lies in its use for medicinal, nutritional and sweetening purposes. In Maní, Yucatán, ritual ceremonies such as the “U Jaanli kab” (the food of the bees), and the “U jeets luumil kab” (the ideal conditions for the production of honey) are carried out, which are first fruits to favor the good weather and good blooms of the field and for the following honey harvest season. The cultural survival of the use of stingless bee products among the people of Maní is firmly underpinned by their participation and management of indigenous herbalism and especially by the participation of their women in this activity. The essence of this tourist product, led by contemporary Mayan women, is the ancestral ceremony in the Mayan language using the elements of honey in a natural environment invoking the four cardinal points. On this tour you will get to know the melipona bee cultivation space, with good luck you will meet a queen bee and you will taste the rich, pure, ancestral and medicinal melipona honey.
