Trigona bee tour with honey tasting at peaceful Lombok farm
You'll never look at bee's the same way after this experience. Perfect for nature lovers, families, or anyone curious about how the tiniest creatures can have a huge impact, this 1-hour workshop gives you a rare peek into the world of stingless Trigona bees. These tiny workers are essential to the farm’s ecosystem and help pollinate everything from herbs to fruit trees. You’ll hear how they live, see their little wooden hives up close (no worries, they don’t sting!), and taste their honey straight from the source — each colony has its own unique flavour. This isn’t your typical honey-tasting stop. What makes this special is how it’s all done with love for the bees and the land. The beekeeper only harvests a little at a time, always making sure the bees are happy and well-fed. It’s the kind of place that supports local life while giving you a deeper understanding of the role bees play in keeping things growing. If you’re after something authentic, peaceful, and a bit magical, this little workshop is for you.It's also perfect if you're travelling with family or want a gentle, meaningful activity away from the crowds. Plus, it’s hosted by a warm, knowledgeable team that’ll make you feel right at home on their cosy farm.What to ExpectLearn about Trigona bees — tiny, stingless, and vital to the farm’s healthGet an up-close look inside their small wooden hivesLearn how bees play an essential role in sustainable farmingWatch how honey is harvested gently using a knife or spoonTry tasting different honeys — each bee colony produces its own distinct flavourExperience short farm tour to learn where the bees harvest their pollenHear about sustainable beekeeping practices straight from the beekeeperGood to KnowNo protective gear needed — these bees are stingless and totally safeFood, drinks, and transport are not included (transport can be added on)Add-On: Farmstay BungalowsExtend your visit with a night in the wooden bungalows overlooking the lush farm.

Meet your host

Sutikno and his wife, Anne-Sophie, started their journey in Lombok back in 2013. They returned to Indonesia after years abroad where they worked in development agencies in countries as far flung as Mali and Laos. They were ready to settle down and without even seeing the land first, they bought it to help someone in a medical emergency. What they got was dry, rocky ground—but they rolled up their sleeves and slowly transformed it into a thriving farm using regenerative practices. Over the years their kindness extends far beyond growing vegetables on the farm — they now share their sustainable permaculture farming knowledge widely with community in hopes that they can improve farming practices across the island, allowing the soil to regenerate from decades of monocropping. They also work to empower local women, who face child marriage and domestic violence in northern Lombok, by giving them meaningful employment and teaching them English. Their cup is always overflowing with love and care for their community.
