Decorated with an etched mural featuring a rainforest scene, a woven skep hive, a traditional square hive and a natural tree hive, this shop celebrates and sells all things honey-related (including a yummy honey ice cream). There are also display beehives for viewing, a bee-friendly garden to stroll in and tours of a honey-extracting factory.
