Bel endroit pour arreter ce dégourdir les jambe avec les enfants. La visite prend environ une quinzaine de minute et c est vraiment instructif autant pour les adulte que pour les enfants. Il y a une belle petite boutique pour acheter leur produit.
You can get some unique gifts at this little museum. They specialize in honey and all kinds of flavours of honey. You can also get good honey mustard or honey wine that is all made on site. We were here a few years ago and the museum was much larger. Now it is confined to one small room that is packed with information. In the store area there are plenty of free samples. It makes a nice stop and it won't take long to visit.
Several pieces of equipment and explanations of honey making do not a museum make. Basically a gift shop with honey based products. Clean, some sampling and interesting candies. i bought one of the vinegarettes (balsamic orange) because of the bottle. Did not like the product but still have the bottle which came with a spout using it for my own dressings.
This was a tourist trap to sell honey. There isn't really a museum. I read in Frommers that you see a working bee hive. This wasn't the case. It's a little exhibit with information about bees and honey but mainly it's a store. You can taste some different honeys. Not worth a special trip.
This was our 3rd time visiting this honey and mead product shop. I understand that it was remodeled a couple of years ago. They've removed the working hive, but the little museum is informative and nicely done. There are honeys available for tasting and a nice selection of products for purchase; honey, candy, ice cream, mead, bee pollen, royal jelly and cute little bee themed gifts etc. The prices are reasonable and it is part of the economusee network of Canada.
We were staying down the street from the bee museum, at a bed and breakfast, twenty minutes outside of Quebec. The museum was free. We found a coupon for buy one get one free ice cream, in the local tourist booklet. There is a separate room dedicated to bees and their habitat. There is a small tasting area and there is a small gift shop. The 3 areas of the museum are worth a stop if you are in the area, but the ice cream is the icing on the cake. It is not your usual ice cream as it is made with honey. Originally I said I didn't want any, that way my husband could buy an ice cream cone and my daughter would get hers free with the coupon. But after trying her raspberry sorbet and my husband's vanilla two bites were not enough so I had to get my own raspberry sorbet in a cup rather than a cone. It was so worth the $2.50.
Nice honey, and good wines. Not much else to see. A little information on honeybees. Right on the highway, so worth stopping.
"Economusee"s, tiny little private museums, are one of the charming things about Quebec. We stopped here 20 years ago and this month, and it had not changed. There is a room where you learn about bees and honey, and a nice shop with a fun tasting table. Quite charming -- if you are in a rambling state of mind.
A lot of thing to taste. Very different and taste good. nice information on bees. The ice cream is very tastefull
This was fun to visit. The museum (musee) is just a little corner, but it was interesting. It was nice to be able to buy a number of different types of honey. You can taste a very distinct difference between honey from clover vs honey from goldenrod or blueberry bushes. Worth a stop.
