Within it you can visit an exhibit-museum leading the visitor to discover the life of bees in its several and fascinating aspects and its precious products: honey, propolis, pollen, royal jelly, and beeswax.
Groups of students can carry out experiences in the didactic lab with observations at the microscope, video projections, beeswax processing, and direct observation of the bees in the annexed apiary.
The honey extraction hall (a premise which is hygienically suitable for the honey extraction and ripening, and for the process of putting the honey in a vase) and the present sale points have enabled to join under the same trademark the honey produced in the park, that is "Miele del Parco del Delta del Po".
