BeeXperience
<p>With BeeXperience you will immerse yourself in the world of bees, that tiny being of which there is so much to learn because of its vital contribution to the development of the cycle of nature thanks to its pollinating work. We will show you up close how it is, how it lives, its work, its "society" and its management by the beekeeper; and where your 5 senses will be awakened to an unknown world. This is the visit to our center: Colmenares de Vendejo (Liébana), where through a tour you will be the co-protagonist of this story; accompanying the main character (the bee) you will go to know an ancient apiary.s to know an old apiary, our facilities where you will see how the hives are created, visit the traditional apiary, the extraction room, ending with a tasting of honeys. All within the same space, environment, making it accessible and close without the need to put on a suit (there is glass), although you can also visit an apiary dressed in the beekeeper's suit.</p>
Get a closer look at the world of bees
The BeeXperience in Liébana offers an immersive journey into the world of bees, highlighting their crucial role in nature. Participants visit Colmenares de Vendejo to learn about the life of bees, their work and beekeeping practices.

Meila
<p>The meilares have been very common wild apple trees in the mountains of Liébana, but during the last thirty years they have practically disappeared. Years ago the meilas were harvested, which were highly valued for the production of cider, mainly in Asturias, a neighboring community, as they provided bitter nuances that were appreciated in apple fermented products. With the passing of time, the harvesting and care of the tree was abandoned because of the low yield and little by little they have been disappearing. This activity proposes the recovery of the meilar in the bush and thus contribute to the conservation of biodiversity. The meila is the wild apple of Liébana, is small in size and although it may have other nuances, mainly its flavor is bitter. The meilares are trees that can reach a large size, which grow in forests and can share space with other trees and shrubs in the environment. It contributes to the feeding of wildlife, such as brown bears, deer, deer, wild boars, rodents, etc. and many birds; all of them, in turn, can collaborate for the growth of new meylars by moving the seeds from one place to another. This can start a chain that recovers the meadows in the mountains, contributing to the diversification of flora and fauna. The planting of fruit trees is carried out during the spring, but prior to planting we must carry out several tasks: location of the meilar and cleaning of the area, planting of the meila seeds in seedbed, transplanting from seedbed to pot, planting of the meilar, protection of the tree, care: fertilizing, watering if necessary and pruning, periodic visit and data collection, harvesting. We will explain this and much more during the activity, which is focused on the observation of the plant species typical of the area and demarcation and tillage for the planting of a meilar and its subsequent care. We will start with the planting of meylars in a farm adjacent to our farm, we will identify each tree with a code and periodically send the information with photographs and other data to all those who have contributed to the experience if they wish.</p>

Guided tour of the Sierra del Oso distillery
<p>Visit in which we will learn how wine is distilled in the traditional "alquitara lebaniega". We will see the different steps in the elaboration and aging of wine, orujo and liquors (fermentation, distillation, aging...) and we will also see the different vineyard planting frames. From the vineyard, there will be an interpretation of the Lebania landscape, with the imposing Picos de Europa in the background. If we are lucky, we can observe the abundant fauna that inhabits the environment (roe deer, deer, wild boar, eagle, buzzard, etc.). <br><br>And if not, we will surely see the traces of their passage through the vineyard (footprints, eaten or scavenged vines, pecked grapes, etc.). At the end of the visit, we will taste the wines and liquors that we produce along with local products (cheese and sausage in the morning or sweets in the afternoon). This tasting is commented, analyzing the sensations that we perceive with our senses, sight, smell and taste. Sierra del Oso is committed to the recovery and enhancement of old vineyards, as well as expanding its plantations to maintain the link with the territory and local employment. <br><br>We also collaborate with scientific ecotourism through the Brown Bear Foundation, a foundation closely linked to the territory and committed to a species present in our mountains.</p>
