For our last day, we moved to Bohol Bee farm. We were smitten by the place when we had our lunch there on our first day in Panglao.
Bohol Bee Farm is not a beach-front property, instead it sits on top of a cliff. We got a room for Php2,500. Big enough for the three of us. This comes with a buffet breakfast and a free shuttle to either airport or pier.
We stayed at their newly opened building, which is a far cry from their old one. I do hope they'll renovate the old building. And lucky us, we get to try their new rooms. I also notice that herbs are planted in almost every empty space there is instead of the usual ornamental plants. In fact, in front of our room were a patch of basil, thyme and among others.

I first knew Bee farm when we tried their malunggay ice cream on cassava cone at Loboc River. We loved their organic-flavored ice cream that when I finally had the chance to actually be in their farm, I can't wait to try their other dishes. I notice how they often make use herbs. I find it amazing how two or three herbs can make a simple pasta tasty.
They usually have their farm tours in the afternoon but we were informed that there were no bees at the time because of the last storm. Nagsialisan daw un mga bubuyog. Sayang. excited pa nman ako dun sa beekeeper outfit.

breakfast, lunch, dinner..everything served was superb! |
Most of the things were either recycled or refurbished. Unused bottles were made as lamps. Old stools/chairs were spruced up. They find use to things that are usually thrown. And it works.

Notice how furniture are brilliantly mix-matched |

Aside from the restaurant and the hotel, the farm has its own store which sells their well-known organic products. Honey, spreads, bread, chips. Their store is a well-known tourist stop over.
We really had fun at the Bee farm mainly because of the food. Will definitely be back and recommend this place.
Live, Laugh, Love in Bohol? Do it in Bee farm!
