If you ever come to Rhodes, it’s worth visiting the
Beekeeping Showroom of the Dodecanese which can
be found on the way to the airport, at Pastida. It is a
company which takes care of bees, produces honey
and all that comes from it. Melekouni, which is a tradi-
tional kind of sweet offered in the villages of Rhodes at
weddings, is one of its products.
The Museum of Bee, which is unique in Greece, can
be found in the company’s premises. There one can
witness the wonderful world of bees in the transparent
hives and learn a lot of things about the bee, like the
fact that a queen bee is distinct and larger in size than
the others, the worker bees work from a young age and
male bees are called “drones”.
Moreover, visitors at the museum can get acquaint-
ed with the history of beekeeping in Rhodes and the
beekeeper’s work.
They can also try and even buy the kind of honey
they like, as well as many more of the bees’ natural
products.
We are certain that the visit will be unforgettable!
