Then dream, meditate or chat with friends. View the apiary and woodland or browse the bookshelves. Honeybees create an impeccably clean and healthy environment inside a hive using the beneficial properties of wax, honey, propolis and more. The bee hive air permeates up through vents into the apitherapy house. It is relaxing, de-stressing, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, full of negative ions and deliciously fragrant. One can lie down on the beds and be entranced by the gentle hum and whispering of the honeybees below, at the same time benefitting from micro vibrations. The whole building is designed to enhance the finest quality of air. Breathing masks are available, being connected directly to the hives below the beds for more concentrated beehive air. People come to these experiences for many reasons: Simple relaxation and rest; as a remedy for an imbalance, ailment or concern; to share some meditative time; to immerse in the blessings of bees; with friends and fellowship with nature or simple soulful solitude.
