Eco Living Aruba

Want healthy food? You need bees. Want bees? Then we need to understand our own role in nature.
So much fear around bees — but a fear of bees is really a fear of nature. And nature is us.

This Saturday, May 23rd, my husband Dan Barros of Eco Living Aruba is offering an beekeeping workshop at Santa Rosa, 8am–12pm.
A beautiful place to start.

🐝 Happy World Bee Day!🐝

𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝘇𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗮 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮.
As part of our growing commitment to sustainability and biodiversity, La Quinta Beach Resort has introduced an on-site 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗵𝗶𝘃𝗲 to help support Aruba’s delicate ecosystem and local pollinators.

Currently in its testing phase, the initiative has already sparked curiosity and excitement among our team members. Through an educational presentation led by our local beekeeping partner Eco Living Aruba , staff had the opportunity to learn more about the vital role bees play in nature, resulting in thoughtful questions and a deeper understanding of how hospitality can also contribute positively to the environment around us.

The addition of bees also marks another meaningful step in the growth of La Quinta’s syntropic agroforestry garden, further strengthening the connection between hospitality, regeneration, and biodiversity.

In time, the hive will also produce small batches of local honey to be incorporated into select guest experiences and culinary offerings.

A small hive, with an important purpose.

Because where you choose to stay… can also help nature thrive.🐝

🐝 Bee Fact Friday! 🐝

Did you know that a single honeybee will produce only 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in her entire lifetime?

Yet together, a colony of 50,000 bees can produce up to 100 lbs of honey in a single year. That is the power of community, cooperation, and nature working in perfect harmony.

At Eco Living Aruba, we are humbled every day by the incredible work of our bees. We take only what they can spare, and we give back by protecting their habitat on our beautiful island. 🇦🇼
