[Melaka] Winnie's Bee Farm

Breaking away from the usual place to visit in Melaka? I you are staying near the Bayou Lagoon Resort, don't miss out the fun stuff (for the kids) at Winnie's Bee Farm. It is just a stone throw away from the resort. From Bayou Lagoon Resort traffic light, turn to the right and the farm is within 2km away on the left.

Watch out for this bee statue. It is easy to miss the place since the landscape of the surrounding is just plantation. The best time to visit the farm is around noon time, when the bees aren't aggressive and most of them are out of their home to collect honey.

The Winnie's Bee Farm is different from the other bee farms in Melaka because it is not commercialized and you are able to experience hands-on harvesting the honey. The kids love the learning process - from collecting the honey comb, to extracting the honey. Lastly, as a bonus, the kids are able to drink the honey, which was highlight of the trip for them.

The honey bee are extremely tame. Even the kids are able to hold the honeycomb frame to pose for a photo. Safety is the top priority for the owner. She encourages the kids to stand away if dealing with more aggressive bees.

The owner, Michelle, is extremely friendly with the kids. She even showed them all the different plants and fruits, snake hole, frog and tadpoles, and other highlights around the farm. I highly recommend this educational visit if you have raised an urban kid.

Michelle manages the place together with her partner, Max, which is also her brother. They have a few farms around Melaka. Do contact Max Koh +60167022749 to make an appointment.
