Malacca Bee Gallery, Bee museum in Ayer Keroh, Malaysia.
Malacca Bee Gallery is a building in Ayer Keroh dedicated to the world of bees. It contains around 250 specimens of bee hives and hornet nests, organized across different sections covering beekeeping, species, habitats, and the tools used to gather honey.
Malacca Bee Gallery was established in 2013 at the south end of Malacca Botanical Garden in Ayer Keroh, under the name The World's Bees Museum. It was later renamed Galeri Lebah Melaka and is operated by Giant B, the brand of Malaysia's largest honey producer.
The gallery shows how bees and hornets have long been important to farming in Malaysia. Visitors can see traditional beekeeping practices and understand why these insects matter so much for crops.
The gallery sits at the southern end of Malacca Botanical Garden in Ayer Keroh, so it is reached by road from the Ayer Keroh toll exit. Honey tasting and sales take place inside, and the bee man show runs as a separate demonstration. Allow time to walk the garden grounds around the building.
The gallery is operated by Giant B, the brand of Malaysia's largest honey producer. Visitors can taste and buy many types of honey at the end of the visit, and the collection holds around 250 specimens of bee hives and hornet nests.
