点评:My wife and I were looking for something different to do in Thekkady and came across Philip’s Natural Honey farm. I’ll admit I wasn’t especially excited at first, but my wife wanted to go, so I tagged along, and I’m genuinely glad I did. The visit was both entertaining and surprisingly educational. The family who runs the farm was warm and welcoming, and they shared a ton of interesting, easy-to-understand details about beekeeping. We toured their small working demonstration setup designed for visitors (they also operate several larger farms elsewhere). We learned about the different types of bees, looked inside the hive boxes, and even held honeycombs. It felt very safe. The bees aren’t aggressive unless they feel threatened, so as long as you stay calm and don’t swat your hands around, you’ll be fine. The tasting was a highlight. We tried their regular honey and also honey from tiny stingless bees, which is especially prized for its medicinal properties. These bees are about the size of a small fruit fly and don’t have stingers, which makes the experience even more approachable. You can also buy honey on-site, and we did. The quality was excellent, and the value compared to what we pay back home was hard to beat. This is a great stop for adults and kids. If you’re traveling with children, it’s safe, hands-on, and they’ll have a blast. It's the type of place you won't forget.
翻译:我和妻子在特卡迪寻找一些特别的去处,偶然发现了菲利普天然蜂蜜农场。说实话,一开始我并没有特别兴奋,但妻子想去,所以我就陪她去了,而且我真的很高兴自己去了。这次参观既有趣又收获颇丰。农场的主人一家热情好客,他们分享了很多关于养蜂的有趣且通俗易懂的知识。我们参观了他们为游客准备的小型养蜂示范区(他们还在其他地方经营着几个更大的农场)。我们了解了不同种类的蜜蜂,查看了蜂箱内部,甚至还亲手触摸了蜂巢。感觉非常安全。蜜蜂除非感到威胁,否则不会主动攻击,所以只要你保持冷静,不要乱动手,就完全没问题。品尝蜂蜜是这次参观的亮点。我们品尝了他们普通的蜂蜜,还品尝了无刺小蜜蜂酿造的蜂蜜,这种蜂蜜因其药用价值而备受推崇。这些蜜蜂体型和小型果蝇差不多,而且没有螫针,所以更容易亲近。你也可以在现场购买蜂蜜,我们也买了。蜂蜜品质极佳,价格比我们在国内买的便宜很多。这里非常适合大人和孩子一起游玩。如果你带着孩子旅行,这里安全又充满互动体验,孩子们一定会玩得非常开心。这绝对是一次难忘的体验。
