Honey Bee Apiary Farms in Cameron Highlands
Highland Honey — Why It’s Special
Cameron Highlands honey is produced by bees feeding on highland wildflowers, tea plant blossoms and diverse montane flora at 1,400–1,800m altitude. The resulting honey has a complex, distinctly floral flavour profile that differs noticeably from lowland honey produced near monoculture plantations.
The cool highland climate slows honey crystallisation and supports healthier, more active bee colonies. EE Feng Gu is the most established highland apiary offering visitor access.
EE Feng Gu Honey Bee Farm
EE Feng Gu Honey Bee Apiary is one of Cameron Highlands’ most popular agro-tourism attractions. Built among an assortment of highland flowering plants, visitors can observe bee colonies through protective glass, learn about honey extraction and purchase a range of honey and bee-derived products directly from the farm.
The farm offers guided educational tours explaining bee colony management, honey harvesting, propolis collection and the unique ecology of highland bee farming.
