Honey museum - Lavarone, Tobia

The Marigo family, owners of a beekeeping company, collected material relating to beekeeping and honey and wax production for many years. This recently opened museum has three floors with smokers, honey extractors, presses, ripeners, books and magazines, microphotographs, old posters, and an important collection of hives of various types and construction materials from all over Italy and the European continent. There is a teaching room with an observation hive and posters on the anatomy, life-cycle and social organization of bees and the products of the hive as well as rooms with displays of objects and tools associated with beekeeping and finally a specialized library equipped with a children’s corner. The museum offers a well worked-out and well-communicated whole.
