musee de l'abeille

Several pieces of equipment and explanations of honey making do not a museum make. Basically a gift shop with honey based products. Clean, some sampling and interesting candies. i bought one of the vinegarettes (balsamic orange) because of the bottle. Did not like the product but still have the bottle which came with a spout using it for my own dressings.

This was our 3rd time visiting this honey and mead product shop. I understand that it was remodeled a couple of years ago. They've removed the working hive, but the little museum is informative and nicely done. There are honeys available for tasting and a nice selection of products for purchase; honey, candy, ice cream, mead, bee pollen, royal jelly and cute little bee themed gifts etc. The prices are reasonable and it is part of the economusee network of Canada.

We had a coupon for 2:1 icecream cones, and we were pacassing by so we stopped in. Attractively packaged gifts of everything honey, but really not much of interest. Ice cream was OK.

We were staying down the street from the bee museum, at a bed and breakfast, twenty minutes outside of Quebec. The museum was free. We found a coupon for buy one get one free ice cream, in the local tourist booklet. There is a separate room dedicated to bees and their habitat. There is a small tasting area and there is a small gift shop. The 3 areas of the museum are worth a stop if you are in the area, but the ice cream is the icing on the cake. It is not your usual ice cream as it is made with honey. Originally I said I didn't want any, that way my husband could buy an ice cream cone and my daughter would get hers free with the coupon. But after trying her raspberry sorbet and my husband's vanilla two bites were not enough so I had to get my own raspberry sorbet in a cup rather than a cone. It was so worth the $2.50.

There is a one room exhibit which tells you about bees. There is a larger gift shop selling honey, beeswax items and bee themed items.

This was a tourist trap to sell honey. There isn't really a museum. I read in Frommers that you see a working bee hive. This wasn't the case. It's a little exhibit with information about bees and honey but mainly it's a store. You can taste some different honeys. Not worth a special trip.

Nice honey, and good wines. Not much else to see. A little information on honeybees. Right on the highway, so worth stopping.

The Bee Museum was a nice stop to have a taste of some honey products. I bought some excellent honey mustard.The display on bees and honey was well done and informative, but not very large.

You can get some unique gifts at this little museum. They specialize in honey and all kinds of flavours of honey. You can also get good honey mustard or honey wine that is all made on site. We were here a few years ago and the museum was much larger. Now it is confined to one small room that is packed with information. In the store area there are plenty of free samples. It makes a nice stop and it won't take long to visit.

"Economusee"s, tiny little private museums, are one of the charming things about Quebec. We stopped here 20 years ago and this month, and it had not changed. There is a room where you learn about bees and honey, and a nice shop with a fun tasting table. Quite charming -- if you are in a rambling state of mind.

This was fun to visit. The museum (musee) is just a little corner, but it was interesting. It was nice to be able to buy a number of different types of honey. You can taste a very distinct difference between honey from clover vs honey from goldenrod or blueberry bushes. Worth a stop.

Might not be of interest to non-Catholics. Lots of data about Catholic history in the area. More educational than entertaining. Lots of historical objects to see. My wife loved the shop ($600 worth).

Bel endroit pour arreter ce dégourdir les jambe avec les enfants. La visite prend environ une quinzaine de minute et c est vraiment instructif autant pour les adulte que pour les enfants. Il y a une belle petite boutique pour acheter leur produit.

Nous avons adorée le petit musé, très instructif et la dégustation de miel et tout les produits qu'il y a... du savons, à la chandelle. Sans compter tout les produits à manger, que se soit du local ou de l'importer. Ils sont toujours disponible pour nous informer.
