If you thought honey was only for breakfast, this honey tasting in Mexico City will change your mind. The experience is organized by Mielosa, a space dedicated to selling artisanal honey and promoting conscious beekeeping through workshops, tastings, and beekeeping experiences.
The plan begins at their showroom in the San Rafael neighborhood, where the group meets at 8:00 a.m. to head to their apiary in Milpa Alta, one of the city’s most iconic rural areas. From there, a morning completely different from the chilango routine begins.
