La Ferme des Banons & Le Mini Musée de l'Abeille

La Ferme des Banons and its attached bee museum form an active farm and learning space in the La Crau region, where honey production and field farming are interwoven. The grounds display observable hives and explain pollination and the role of insects in modern farming.

The farm was founded to preserve traditional growing methods of the La Crau region while sharing knowledge about pollination. The combination of beekeeping and field farming builds on practices long rooted in this area.

Local beekeepers demonstrate their daily work and explain how bees support the surrounding farmland. You can watch how the community values this connection between insects and agriculture.

The grounds are accessible throughout the day, and visitors can wander at their own pace or join guided explanations. Comfortable shoes are recommended, as the paths to different stations run on natural ground.

The transparent hives allow you to watch the queen and worker bees going about their daily routine without disturbing the colony. This kind of viewing reveals the complex social life and organization of the insects in a way that standard hives cannot.
