Welcome to
The Beehouse Sanctuary
A Unique Apitherapy Wellness Experience in the heart of the Devon Countryside
Step into our peaceful Beehouse Sanctuary, created to help you slow down, switch off, and reconnect with nature.
Designed on the principles of Apitherapy, our purpose-built beehouse allows you to experience the soothing sounds, aromas, and healing vibrations of our honey bee colonies, whilst being totally separated from the bees, which enter and exit their hives at the rear of the beehouse.
Lie back on one of our bee-beds, breathe deeply, and unwind as you breathe in the aromatic hive air and listen to the calming hum of the bees as they work in their hives.
What is Apitherapy 'Beehouse' Therapy?
Apitherapy is a globally recognised complementary wellness practice that uses the natural substances and energy of bees, including hive air, propolis, vibrations and sound, to support general health and wellbeing.
For centuries, bee products such as honey and beeswax have been valued for their healing properties. Today, apitherapy experiences are designed to encourage relaxation and are part of a holistic approach to support the immune system, and respiratory health and recovery.
This therapy is available in the following ways:
- Consuming the products of the hive, such as honey, royal jelly, pollen or propolis tincture
- Using skincare products
- Breathing in the air from the beehives, which incorporates all the components of the hive, as described above.
Benefits of Apitherapy
Apitherapy, also known as Beehive Air Therapy, is associated with a range of wellness benefits, including:
- Deep relaxation and reduced anxiety
- Improved sleep quality
- A calm, meditative state
- Support for the nervous system
- Natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects from hive constituents such as propolis
- Enhanced connection to nature and overall wellbeing.
How the Beehouse Works
Our Beehouse Sanctuary is a purpose-built cabin designed to safely harness the unique environment created by thriving honey bee colonies.
- The bees live within specially designed hives beneath each 'bee-bed' and are free to come and go through their own external entrances
- A secure mesh system keeps the bees completely separate while allowing the hive's natural aromas, sounds, and vibrations to gently fill the space
- The result is a safe, immersive environment where guests can experience the atmosphere of the hive without direct contact with the bees
- The air is filled with many of the volatile organic compounds from within the hives, which include a range of anti-viral and anti-bacterial substances
- The bees create natural vibrations between 150–400 Hz that studies have shown help to reduce stress, ease physical tension, support circulation, and encourage a deep sense of relaxation.
