Phu Quoc Bee Farm: Eco Experience & Pure Tropical Honey

Hidden within the lush forests of Phu Quoc National Park lies a charming, lesser-known destination – the Phu Quoc Bee Farm, the island’s first ecological honey farm.
It’s not just a place to taste the sweetness of pure forest honey, but also a peaceful retreat where you can connect with nature, learn about the vital role of bees, and experience eco-tourism at its finest.

A visit to the Bee Farm with Rooty Trip offers more than a sightseeing stop – it’s a journey of harmony between humans and nature, where learning, relaxation, and sustainability come together beautifully.

What makes Phu Quoc Bee Farm unique

The island’s first ecological bee farm

Founded with a mission toward sustainable agriculture and environmental preservation, the Phu Quoc Bee Farm operates without harmful chemicals.
The hives are surrounded by tropical fruit trees – rambutan, durian, mango – and wildflowers, creating an ideal ecosystem for bees to thrive naturally. The result? A delicate, fragrant honey that captures the true essence of Phu Quoc’s forests.

A blend of Italian and native bees

The farm raises a unique mix of Italian bees (Apis mellifera), known for their productivity, and native Vietnamese bees, which adapt well to the tropical climate. This hybrid approach produces honey with a distinctive aroma and balanced flavor – rich yet light, just like the character of the island itself.

Immersed in pure nature

Located near Cua Can Commune, surrounded by forest and gentle streams, the Bee Farm feels like a small garden of paradise. The air is fresh, the buzz of bees mingles with birdsong — creating a tranquil and poetic atmosphere rarely found elsewhere.
