A well-designed place. There are areas for photos, you can view the hives in the "section". The honey tasting went pretty well: they even bought it as a gift. However, the tasting of mead spoiled the whole impression. The man who conducted her behaved very incorrectly, spoke rather rudely to the visitors. I consider this unacceptable.
We came on an excursion to the apiary, everything is very beautiful and eat delicious pancakes with honey,from there there was a desire to buy honey and make pancakes at home, but unfortunately we sold not at all the honey that we wanted 😣in taste and color it was different from what we tried, the child did not eat this honey but this honey made my throat burn terribly, as if I didn't eat honey but drank some poison, it was very bad. If you decide to buy this honey, then be sure to open the jar on the spot and cork what you were sold, because then you will just throw 1,500 tr or even more in the trash.
We were here on 5.12.24 in a small group of 4 people.the young man conducted an educational tour, conducted a honey tasting. We bought small clay pots with honey.2 views at your own risk, as they say, (since the pots were sealed with a cloth soaked in wax)
Upon arrival home, both pots were opened (by the way, they also made them!)
All the same, then they gave us a taste. So the owners did not deceive us) Thanks for the tour and
honesty!
A wonderful location! Everything was told in detail and shown in a very interesting way! I want to come back again! Thank you very much to the whole team for the informative master class
We bought honey on this trading platform (apiary) twice, in 2019 and 2021. The honey was excellent (bortnik , apitonus). In September of this year, 2024, we decided to go and buy honey again. And we were sure that we would buy the same honey. Moreover, we did not need any excursion. "They hit us in the ears" (as it always was), poured chacha (as a sign of hospitality). We bought honey, pills and mead for 13,000 rubles. We were sure that we had bought what we wanted. Upon arrival home, we realized that the honey is different and the same in all pots. Where the apitonus is, where the bee-hunter is, you will not understand. Although we remember the taste of that honey. When passing through our customs, we were detained for transporting honey. And the representative of Rospotrebnadzor announced the following information to us: you bought honey with starch and flower powder. Arriving home, all this was confirmed. The honey is different, not the one we bought before. It is calculated that people have bought and think that this is the perfect honey. They were taken home and it is unknown when they will return. A marketing ploy. From the 90s. It was very disappointing for us. Now they have no faith.
Abkhazia is a country of the soul! I came to Pasika. They told me beautifully and interestingly and gave me a delicious taste of honey. I BOUGHT 2 TYPES OF HONEY FOR THE CHILDREN! I CAME HOME AND OPENED IT ! AND I WAS TERRIFIED! IN FACT, THEY SOLD THE SAME HONEY IN 2 POTS OF COLOR AND IN A PIECE! I WAS DISAPPOINTED. WE CAME AS A FAMILY! 5 PEOPLE AND SMELLED THE SAME HONEY TO TASTE! WE BELIEVED YOU! AND YOU HAVE UPSET US WITH YOUR DOWNFALL!!!! WE WILL NOT RECOMMEND YOU! IT'S NOT NICE TO DO THAT! PEOPLE TRUST YOU!
Delicious honey. It's expensive, but it's an excursion route. They keep the brand. Fun guided tours with honey and mead tasting. It's beautiful and interesting. I recommend.
I haven't been on such an interesting tour in a long time. I don't really like honey, but everything that was told was cool and beautifully served. The photos and stands are well decorated, for a person who has never seen the inside of a beehive. The guide specifically addresses the participants of the lecture, interests them with his story. Intelligible, interesting, fast.
We visited this apiary in November 2018. In general, after visiting Abkhazia as part of one tourist day (we rested in the sanatorium Neftyanik of Siberia), I concluded that such a heavenly corner of the earth had gone to the wrong people!!!! The beautiful Soviet architecture has been destroyed, and there is dirt everywhere!! I was immediately determined not to buy anything at this apiary, and it was so painful to watch our pensioners shell out a lot of money. And younger people grabbed chacha without thinking at all about what kind of swill there might be. After all, it's not in vain that they seal all these containers securely so that no one opens them on the spot. Be careful in such places. I am very proud of us that we did not spend a penny on them and did not let ourselves be deceived))
I look at the comments, I don't understand why the reviews are so bad, I came two years ago.
I bought honey, wine and mead
Everything was delicious.
This year I came as many as 2 times with a friend, we bought royal jelly with wine and mead, everything is very tasty
When the wine stood, it became even tastier
Definitely 10 stars!!!
We came and we will come and buy products, I take them for myself and my family.

An interesting place on the way to Lake Ritsa. A well-maintained area with a variety of flowers and fruit trees. And what original beehives!!! Pretty girl!!
I can't say anything about honey-we didn't buy or try it (we are rich in our own).
Every year we go to Abkhazia for a vacation and always come here to eat pancakes with honey and drink delicious tea. This time, we were greeted not only by bees, but also by a local cat)) who drank tea with us))
The Abkhazian apiary! Everything is organized, a lecture on honey and bee products. Tasting of honey and alcohol products. Carefully choose the products you want to purchase.
We stopped at the Honey Yard . We had lunch . We bought honey . It 's delicious by the way . Everything is focused on the sale of honey . The views around are amazing. Nature is fascinating .
Pancakes.... it's just a name)))
We stopped by three times with a child ...
On the third I had to find a cook myself))) The pancakes are delicious!!! But all this is just a hyped brand!!! No more.... If it weren't for the road to the ritz.... No one would go there
....a serving with 6 fist-sized pancakes...200p with honey...
Everything is done beautifully, but considering that this is a resort area, the price is too high. For a portion of pancakes 600 rubles. The pancakes are small, one portion was not enough for me. A 10-year-old child asked for more. Even a little girl didn't have enough. They ask 500 rubles for a small pot of honey. For example, we have 2500 for a 3-liter cylinder, and there are 12 such pots there. It turns out that they are not selling honey, but pots...
A very interesting tourist spot on the way to Lake Ritsa. I recommend stopping and spending some time walking around the territory and listening to a small but fascinating lecture about Abkhazian beekeeping followed by a tasting.
Chacha is super! We took two types: ordinary, but with a light honey aftertaste and light on almonds, I highly recommend it! The mead is very tasty, non-alcoholic. The prices are certainly high, but it was worth it!
I recommend stopping by. We were in February, almost everything was closed, a couple of pavilions were working.
We were on an excursion on August 21, 2024, We told everything beautifully, the tasting was also excellent. But what was brought home is completely untrue. Honey is different. It's a big disappointment. I do not recommend buying. Take a look, listen, try it and drive on. Don't waste your money. fraud.
I don't like honey, I never eat it. But this honey is an exception. They tried it for the first time back in 2013 and fell in love. In 2024, we found ourselves in Abkhazia again and went there specifically to get him. So many years of work speaks about itself better than any advertising.
We were here on a guided tour! I liked everything very much! The prices certainly bite, but the product is worth it! We bought honey , mead , wine . We didn 't stay without gifts either ! Thanks for the interesting tour!
Do not buy anything at this "apiary", you will be very disappointed. We were in Abkhazia in May, on the way to Lake Ritsa, the guide brought us to this point. A lot of glib beautiful words, tasting, selling. We bought a jar of acacia honey and opened it in Russia. The pot, which was advertised as unbreakable, began to fall apart already when the wax lid was removed. Inside there is a cloudy substance, most of all similar to jam diluted with water. This liquid has nothing to do with honey, especially the one that was given at the tasting. It's scary to think that these dealers are selling under the guise of royal jelly or propolis.
A great, beautiful place! And the most important thing is that you can buy really high-quality honey there! They will tell you a small lecture about honey, storage, and how to use it.
The place is certainly gorgeous, you can see bees and in general a lot of beautiful things. They took honey, two large jars, it was stated that honey in a large jar was 2,200 g, there were two types of honey: Bee stalk and epitonus (if I'm not mistaken), clay jars, packed, the contents are not visible, they asked for both types of honey, two small jars went as a gift, 0.5 mead and that- that's on the grasses. As a result of arriving home, -1 star for cheating with weight, -1 star for the fact that both villages are the same, there was no bee hunter, because apparently he is very appreciated. I checked the chalk with a passion - it's natural. The price is high, but if you decide to buy, ask them to check the weight with you, well, the contents are desirable too. Small jars were given to parents, maybe at least they have two different types)
Don't trust a good assessment. Yes, they will show you almost a performance here. But what you will buy is absolutely not what you will try. In addition, it is forbidden to transport honey across the border and there is a chance to throw it away without taking it home. You can cheat once, of course, but this is one time...
Guys, you need to go with an excursion to this place only if you really love honey, are interested in this topic and want to buy it, because you will be locked in a house and they will talk about honey for at least an hour, and in raised tones. Then, after the advertisement, they will start obsessively sniffing it.
If you go to Abkhazia, then to Lake Ritsa, to New Athos. It is better not to waste time and money at the honey fair.
It's a very interesting place. They treated us to delicious honey, told us everything in an informative way, showed us. Now I know how to taste honey and how to distinguish a fake.
We visited this place of deception! They gave one product for trial, and sold an incomprehensible liquid with a taste of honey. To deceive a diabetic is arrogance. And this is called the state apiary. By the way, do not believe that honey will go into your hand luggage, leave it at the airport.
It's a very atmospheric place. They told about honey, gave it a try, you can buy honey and bee products in different quantities. We tried mead and other drinks.
I've been to this apiary twice. They talk about honey and have discussions. Honey is offered, and booze made from honey is also offered. I advise you to visit.
A very interesting, colorful place! Everything was told and shown! Besides, everyone gives it a try! The territory is stylized! Clean, cozy and beautiful!
Everything starts beautifully, a nice girl will take a tour, tell you about the bees, show you the apiary. Further, the increase in very inflated prices for honey, mead and wine. There are no vineyards in Abkhazia, but homemade wine is sold on every corner. Next, we decided to try pancakes with honey. Instead of the promised 6, we put 5 pcs in a container with us. At the rate of leaving, we will not return. They did not leave, the children decided to eat on the spot. 1 pancake was reported after the appeal, but the sediment remained.
We stopped for pancakes with honey and were disappointed with the service! There was a very unfriendly woman in her age, she was not allowed to sit next to the standing tables, sent to a cooler room next door. When ready, she shouted that they had self-service. The portion includes 6 pancakes and honey as a gift (150 rubles). In the beginning, it seemed like a big portion and there would be enough for everyone to try. There were four of us: mom, dad and 2 kids. It turns out that pancakes are mini. Of course, no one was preparing them right now for us. Honey is poured on the same plate next to the pancakes. And they took a large pot of herbal tea - that was delicious! The remaining tea was poured into a thermo mug and drunk on the road. They did not buy honey, because they read the reviews immediately after such service. We do not recommend visiting!
I couldn't find non-granular royal jelly!! In general, it is very clean, well-maintained houses, the range of honey is good, but prices can be found cheaper
The tour is cool, the place is picturesque, the air is clean. BUT after tasting, we decided to buy honey (epitonus, because the taste of wild for us turned out to be a little bit bitter) in beautiful clay jars. When selling, the jars are sealed and tightly tied, the composition is signed with a pencil. As the guide said, they can write, they can read, so everything will be according to our order. But apparently all this is not accurate, because in the end we opened wild honey instead of epitonus at home (( DISAPPOINTMENT...
At first, everything went well and beautifully, a pleasant excursion and delicious products for TASTING. After all this clowning, we bought a whole bunch of honey, and upon arrival home it turned out that we had been sold a cheap parody. I advise everyone to go on a tour, try good honey for free, BUT DO NOT TRY TO BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM!
Good luck to your sharashkin office💋
It is very interesting to talk about honey in a comfortable room with air conditioning. Honey, mead, and wine are offered at the tasting. You can also buy products
We were in this beautiful place at the beginning of June 2024 , we really liked pancakes with honey , and they brewed great herbal tea for us. If we are still in those parts , we will definitely stop by ))))
Don't take honey here.! It is very expensive, but in fact with sugar and in not small quantities. It was candied 3 months after arrival. Don't get fooled by marketing in one word
A very tasty place😉 showed the beehive from the inside (photo) It's sticky. Honey is delicious, drinks too, especially the "Tequila in Abkhazian" was remembered🙂
People somehow need to develop their region, a great idea at the expense of tourism. Who visits Abkhazia for the first time is quite interesting. All sightseeing tours pass through this place. And getting divorced to buy honey is everyone's business)
