Whoever receives the gift will follow a personalized hive on video for an entire year: blooms, pollen, the work of the bees and honey from Finca Lady Marso when the season brings it.
The hive has the name you choose—the name of the person receiving the gift or the name you want—and from there, for a year we tell its story: waking up with the first blooms, the entry of pollen, a colony that becomes strong, a swarm, an illness or a bad year, and how they overcome it. We document what is important, whether good or not, as it really happens on the farm. A few months bring a lot; others, in the middle of winter, are quieter. And the videos don't speak to just anyone: they speak to whoever receives the gift, by name.
You choose a young or adult hive, you name it and tell us who it is for and for what reason. You receive a welcome box at home to deliver whenever you want.
It all starts with a welcome video that greets her by name and introduces her to her hive. Every time there is a new video we notify you by email with the link, and you can always watch and repeat them on YouTube. From time to time we do direct from the apiary, when field coverage allows it.
When there is a harvest, the honey from the farm comes home. And the experience continues until the cycle of the year closes.
A hive with the name you choose, counted for an entire year.
He greets her by name and introduces her to his hive.
With the link; always available to repeat on YouTube.
When field coverage allows it.
To deliver the gift in person, with the name of the hive.
When there is a harvest: 1 to 3 kg (young) or 2 to 4 kg (adult).
Bees have their rhythm, and whoever receives the gift follows it as is. In the active season, from February to November, more videos arrive; in winter, when the hive rests, some from time to time. In February, with the almond tree in bloom, everything begins again. All in one YouTube list to watch whenever you want.
Honey is part of the farm's cycle, it is not the end of it. Some seasons bring early honey—like spring rosemary; other blooms come later. When honey is available, we send it home to the person receiving the gift, and even if it arrives early, the experience continues all year long. Honey depends on the blooms, the climate and the farm, and we never force the bees to come up with a figure.
We try to make it from your hive. If not enough can be extracted, it is mixed with that from the apiary's hives—same area and quality. And only by force majeure, if there was no honey from the farm, it would be from other producers in the area, identified as such.
They are both the same one-year experience; change the starting point. Places are limited: only the hives we have.
To follow a hive from its first steps.
What is it? →To follow an already strong and active hive during the season.
What is it? →With your experience, you buy more honey from the farm at a 30% discount, if available.
Isn't it for a gift? You can also live it.
You do not receive a physical hive. You receive monitoring, for a year, of a personalized hive with the name you choose: you follow it on video throughout its cycle and receive honey from the farm when there is a harvest. The hive is and continues to be owned by Finca Lady Marso, and is part of their apiary.
A nuc is a young colony in a small box with frames, bees and a queen, growing towards a full-sized colony. An adult colony is already established. Both options offer the same year-long experience, with a different starting point.
Because you are not buying honey, but the experience of following a hive for a year. A hive can add many kilos throughout the season, but most of it stays with the bees and the apiary: it is what keeps them strong and healthy. The honey you receive is a detail within the experience, not its reason. Those who only want honey can buy it from the farm separately.
Yes. The welcome video greets her by name and introduces her to her hive, and at important times of the year—such as the harvest or the close of the season—we turn to her again. The rest of the tracking shows his hive and work in the apiary.
Every time we publish a new video we notify you by email with the link. They are all in a YouTube list, so you can repeat them and watch them whenever you want. In addition to the videos of your hive and the apiary, there are videos about the life of a hive (the queen, the drone, the stretched wax...) to understand everything better. And from time to time we do live shows showing the apiary and the works, as long as the field coverage allows it.
When there is harvest. Honey comes with the season, so anything given outside of spring delivers its first honey the following year. Meanwhile, the experience is already underway with the hive documentary.
We try so. If not enough can be extracted from your hive, it is mixed with that of the apiary's hives, from the same area and quality. Only by force majeure, if there was no honey from the farm, it would be from other producers in the area, identified as such.
A colony can become ill, weaken or die. If this happens, we explain it honestly. The experience continues: we replace the colony in the same year if the season permits, or the following year, since nucs cannot be made at every time of year. The video story continues under the same name.
You receive at home a welcome box with the certificate and a gift, to be delivered in person. The welcome video, which greets her by name, comes with a link inside the box, so as not to spoil the surprise. Then, whoever receives the gift tells us their address by WhatsApp or email so we can send them the honey when it arrives.
Clear. Although it is intended as a gift, you can hire it for yourself and follow your own hive all year round.
The experience is followed remotely, by video, and for safety reasons we do not do guided tours of the apiary. Later, when everything is ready, we will do workshops on the farm. For now you can stay with us to collect the honey and get to know the surroundings - with the Segre River crossing the farm - although not as a guided experience.
Prepare your consultation to specify the details of the gift.
We will contact you to confirm details and payment. You can give at any time of the year. Whoever receives the gift will provide us with their address via WhatsApp or email so we can send them the honey when the season brings it.
