Beekeeping at Beach and BEEyond:
Building a Buzz for Nature and Community

At Beach and BEEyond in El Nido, beekeeping is more than just collecting honey — it’s about creating harmony between people and the planet. Guided by Coach Garybee (Gary Ayuste), an award-winning beekeeper and environmental advocate, the practice has become a movement that inspires both locals and travelers to care deeply for nature.

Bees are small, but their impact is immense. They pollinate the plants that feed us, keep ecosystems thriving, and remind us that even the tiniest beings play a vital role in life’s balance. Through sustainable beekeeping, Beach and BEEyond empowers communities to protect biodiversity, support local food systems, and open new opportunities for livelihood — all while nurturing a deeper respect for our environment.

Under Coach Garybee’s guidance, visitors and volunteers experience firsthand the wonder of working with bees — from learning how colonies live in perfect cooperation to understanding how every drop of honey tells a story of teamwork and care.

Beekeeping here is not just about producing honey; it’s about cultivating hope, community, and connection. It’s proof that when we care for the bees, we help the Earth — and each other — thrive. 🐝🌺💛
