HONEY HONEY HONEY - Pabala Honey Tasting Experience

Did you know that Bees are the only insects that produce food for humans?

Pabala hosted its first Honey Tasting Experience for Tourism partners and media across the valley. It was attended by ECTOUR, Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism, Gamtoos Valley Tourism, St Francis Bay Tourism, Jeffreys Bay Tourism, Kouga Baviaans Tourism various media houses and selected five star accommodation partners. Guests were educated about the ‘Life of Bees’, the importance of pollination for farmed food and humans, the explanation between raw honey and imported variants and the difference textures and tastes available in die direct vicinity.

Pabala Pure Honey is a product of Pabala Private Nature Reserve. The Reserve is nestled between mountain and sea, in the Gamtoos Valley close to Hankey on-route to Patensie and the Baviaans in the Eastern Cape. It was established during 2019 by Wernich Cronje to enable, and increase, pollination of plants and grass, to increase and sustain food sources for its animals on the private nature reserve. Our beekeeper – Piet Bezuidenhout – have been active with the bee hives since inception and currently services over 200 bee hives that are spread across the private nature reserve.

We harvested our first raw honey during the first week of October 2020 that was produced over a period of 18 months. There are currently 4 varieties available; Fynbos Aloe, Fynbos Heide, Lavendar and a blended mix, all that was extracted and bottled on-site. Honey has unique uses that includes’ medicinal, health, beauty and just ‘lekker’ in various teas and foods.

From November 2020, Pabala will host weekly tasting sessions at The Venue @ Pabala. It is also a great add-on for conferencing or teambuilding sessions. All information can be found on our website.
