From Mini Malaysia and Mini Asean, we went to the Bee Museum, which was only about a minute's drive away.
The rain was slightly heavy when we got into the little building. We were immediately being attended to by a friendly chap, who took us around and explained the different types of bees and hornets.
At the end of the building were some square aluminium containers where the honey bees were busy making honey. These bees, according to our friendly guide, do not sting people. Both En and Brian were afraid to go near these containers. For En, I think it was because she was once stung by a bumble bee and had to be taken to the hospital for a jab. For Brian, maybe he has seen too many shows (or cartoons) on how dangerous bees are.
The mini tour ended very quickly and we were each given a tiny plastic cup to sample the different types of honey. There was the royal honey, manuka honey, honey with procolis, honey with vinegar, etc. I ended up buying one bottle of honey with procolis, what the man claimed was good for people who are coughing.
Thankfully, the rain stopped just as we were about to leave the place. :)
