Visiting Beekeeper and Beeswax Craft Making in Bungoono City

Japanese honeybees do not collect honey from specific plants (e.g. mandarin oranges), but from a variety of plants, which makes the honey unique to the area. Learn about the natural environment and local attractions of Bungo Ono and make your trip memorable by visiting a beekeeper and making crafts using beeswax under the guidance of a beekeeper.
The ecological characteristics of Japanese honeybees and comparisons between Japanese honeybees and Japanese and Western honeybees are very interesting and provide an opportunity to learn about new honey attractions.
Note: From November to early April, the bees are confined to their hives and can only be seen in the apiary. It is not possible to observe the inside of the hive.

Note: This tour/activity requires a minimum of 2 participants

Itinerary

Bungo-Ono City is located in southern Oita Prefecture. It is a UNESCO Eco-Park and a Japan Geopark, where visitors can experience the unique natural landscape created by the eruption of the Aso Volcano and the history and culture of the people who have accumulated in this natural environment. In Bungo-Ono City, visitors can visit Asaji Town, located in the north-west of the city, to visit a beekeeper and making crafts using beeswax (hand cream, lip cream, etc.) under the guidance of Japanese honeybee producers.

The Japanese honeybee is characterised by its ability to collect honey from a variety of plants. As the environment in which they live is reflected in the honey, visitors can relate the state of nature in Bungo Ono City to the bees that live there.
