Rucher aux Marmottes is located in the commune of Beuil, not far from Valberg. The farm has 250 beehives, most of them in the Alpes Maritimes. Several types of honey are produced, including heather, mountain, thyme and Provence lavender honeys.
Thyme honey is produced in the Péone commune on relatively well-exposed slopes. Bees gather on this plant in May. Production is generally low, as this period can also be too cold and rainy. However, this honey is recognized as being very beneficial to health, its main virtue being healing.
The entire production is sold directly on the farm and at local markets.
During the summer months, a daily event is organized to introduce visitors to the world of beekeeping.
