Description
The International Stingless Bee Centre (ISBC) is Ghana’s premier destination for apitourism (bee tourism) and environmental education. Located in Abrafo-Odumase, just minutes from Kakum National Park, the centre was established through research led by the University of Cape Coast to conserve African stingless bees, promote sustainable beekeeping, and educate visitors about the vital role bees play in biodiversity and food production.
Unlike honeybees, stingless bees do not sting, allowing visitors to observe them safely at close range. Guided tours introduce guests to different native bee species, their remarkable nesting habits, pollination, honey production, and their importance to Ghana’s ecosystems. Visitors can sample and purchase premium stingless bee honey, pollen, propolis, and other natural bee products, while learning about the medicinal and nutritional value of these unique hive products. The centre also serves as an international research and training facility, making it one of Africa’s leading destinations for bee conservation and environmental education.
