"At a resort spa in the Riviera Maya, visitors can sample honey created by the Melipona, described as "the sacred Mayan bee." Honey from this stingless species, cultivated by the Mayan people for hundreds of years, is presented as offering medicinal properties that help the immune system and being used to treat ailments, wounds, burns, and diseases. During the tasting experience participants learn about the species, taste three types of sticky, sweet, golden honey to discover each one's unique benefits, and receive honey self-care recipes to use at home." - Carrie Honaker
