Honey Bee Garden Hatta
Hatta Honey Bee Garden
Nestled amidst the traditional farmhouses of Hatta, the Hatta Honey Bee Garden offers a fascinating educational experience for the whole family. Upon arrival, you’ll put on safety gear that looks adorable on everyone before a knowledgeable guide leads you outside to explore the intricacies of honeybee life. You’ll see the carefully arranged boxes where the honey-producing bees live and learn about the various local trees and plants they rely on to gather pollen, which gives each type of honey its unique flavor and health benefits. From strengthening the immune system to aiding children's growth and promoting heart health, the benefits of honey are as impressive as the bees that produce it.
The highlight of the visit is observing an active beehive up close, where you’ll get to see how the queen and her workers transform pollen into honey. The explanations are simple enough for kids to follow yet packed with fascinating details that will captivate adults as well.
After the outdoor tour, head back inside to continue the experience. Taste an array of local honeys, each with its own distinct flavor profile, watch an educational film about the vital role of bees in our ecosystem, and pick up some delicious honey to take home.
The entire visit lasts around 30 to 45 minutes and costs AED 50 per person. Children aged 3 and above are welcome, and no prior booking is required. The garden is open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with the last entry at 4 PM. A trip to the Hatta Honey Bee Garden is a wonderful opportunity to learn, explore, and connect with nature while supporting the preservation of these incredible pollinators.
