Hive Inzerki is the oldest apiary in the world, Built in 1520
Taddart Ou Guerram, the House of the Healer, has proudly been overlooking a green valley for more than 200 years on the honey road, on the borders of the Eastern High Atlas. Better known as the Apiary of Inzerki, the centuries-old building is considered the largest traditional apiary in the world, and probably the oldest still standing.
The apiary, surrounded by fascinating nature, offers a unique cultural experience to discover the ancestral art of traditional beekeeping.

What's included in Hive Inzerki is the oldest apiary in the world, Built in 1520
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Built by the Berber tribes of Souss, north of Agadir, the Inzerki beehive complex dates back to the 16th century and is now considered the largest collective apiary in the world. The presence of a sunny slope which is located at 980 meters above sea level, the stable climate, the abundance of honey plants (thyme, lavender, argan trees, palms) and the ease of monitoring, have prompted the beekeepers of the region to choose this site for the construction of a collective apiary, which would allow the hives to remain in one place. The structure as a whole is a large wooden building made up of many superimposed cells.
Traditional hives are shaped like a long cylinder, built with intertwined reeds or tree bark. The ends are closed with a round wooden lid, in which a small hole is made to allow the bees to enter and exit. Each cylinder is placed in a staggered order inside the cells, to avoid the overlapping of the hive exits and the fights between the bees. When the hives are full of honey, the beekeeper opens the front and immediately seals the cell with dry mud or cow dung.
