MMape - Bee Museum

The Mulino Museo dell'Ape in Croviana was set up in an ancient sawmill in the vicinity of the nature reserve of "Ontaneta di Croviana" in the Val di Sole. It was inaugurated in 2014 with the aim of raising awareness both on the demanding work of bees and on the important role beekeepers play in the honeymaking process.

Bees are among the greatest pollinators of the whole ecosystem. If they became extinct, numerous plant species would disappear as well, which is why protecting these small insects from tiny parassites and the often excessive presence of humans, is critical.

The museum is divided into three parts and takes visitors on a highly interesting trip through the world of bees. Here you will discover how they are born, what a day in the life of a bee and inside a beehive looks like and much more.

The interactive museum offers guided tours, activities with a beekeeper, honey tastings and a shop with local products from the Val di Sole. The mill is situated in the recreational area "Le Plaze" in Croviana alongside the Noce stream and in the proximity of the cycle track and the
Outdoor Trentino Wild Centre in Croviana.

Guided tours for groups of at least 5 people can be booked also outside the opening hours.
