A few words about Colmenar and the museum

---

This honey museum in Colmenar is called the “Museo del miel de Málaga” (Málaga Honey Museum) and shows the whole process of honey production by bees.

---

---

Colmenar is located in Axarquia, in the province of Malaga. This small region is known for its honey production, which is very important and varied (thyme, rosemary, chestnuts, avocados, mangoes,…)

---

---

This museum offers tastings and sometimes also beekeeping workshops. It also presents the evolution of beekeeping since its origins. The visit is really very instructive.

---

Another village that produces excellent honey is Competa.
