Taste Honey

In the Mont Saint-Hilaire Biosphere Reserve, pollinators such as bees and bumblebees provide invaluable services. In particular, bees pollinate the region’s apple trees. Habitats or prairies with flowers in the surrounding environments are essential. These little bugs not only serve nature; they provide us with their delicious honey. The Biosphere Reserve boasts several honey and mead producers.
