Ee Feng Gu Bee Farm is one of the oldest attractions in Cameron Highlands. It is the longest running apiary in Cameron Highlands as they have been in operation since 1980.

They produce honey organically and this means no pesticides.

You can see the number of times the visitor center has gone through renovation on the side of the first staircase (shortly after entering the building) that leads down into the farm.

The gardens and beehives are all below the visitor center so you cannot see them from the road. There is also a basement where you will find more shops and even a small cafeteria.

OEM honey and other bee products are their main source of income. They even sell these on online platforms like Lazada and Shopee.

Entrance Fees

There are no entry fees for Ee Feng Gu Bee Farm. You can visit the shops, gallery, farm and gardens entirely for free.

You can see the different stages of collecting honey and how bees grow up in another display case on the side.

3. Stroll Through The Gardens

For us, this is the highlight of a visit at Ee Feng Gu Bee Farm. You don’t have to pay any fees to see a garden that can measure up to the beauty of other paid flower gardens in Cameron Highlands.

4. Admire Paintings By Local Painters

As you enter the garden, there are paintings of flowers at both sides of the stairs. An even more impressive landscape painting awaits in the middle of the garden.

The painting is signed by a local artist too.

5. Spot The Bees In Their Beehives

There are many beehives spread throughout the garden. And if you keep silent for a minute, you can hear a clear buzz in the air too.

6. See The Fishponds

There are 2 in total. One in the gardens which is very murky. And another by the stairs down into the gardens. The latter has more fish and is clearer.

What we don’t like:

  • More information signage would be nice
  • Indoor maze seems closed
  • Rabbits could use a more spacious and cleaner enclosure
  • Some unsightly areas – but this is a working farm so expect beekeeping paraphernalia lying around

Conclusion

Go with Ee Feng Gu Bee Farm if your goal is to visit at least one bee farm in Cameron Highlands. One of the best things about a visit here is that it is entirely free!

But there is not much for kids to get excited about here besides the fishponds and small rabbit hutch (at least until the indoor maze is open again).

If you want to learn more about bees, we highly recommend a visit to Cameron Tringkap Bee Farm as they have an interesting gallery on bees.

And if you’re looking for another place in Cameron Highlands that is free to visit, try Green View Garden Cameron Highlands (which is currently free to enter). Or the smaller Highlands Apiary Farm, Bee Farm, Strawberry Farm.
