At the heart of this museum shop, his hives, carefully crafted by his own hands, house the bees he meticulously tends. Jean-Louis is a true connoisseur of this amber-hued sweet substance, making him the ideal person to share the rich history of Caledonian honey.

The uniqueness of La Butineuse lies in the diversity of flavors in its honeys. Among his collection, you can find honeys with original tastes such as lychee, niaouli, and even coffee, a true delight for discerning palates.

This experience is not solely about taste, as Jean-Louis invites his visitors to blend history and tasting in his museum shop. The walls of this space are infused with beekeeping knowledge and captivating stories about beekeeping in New Caledonia.

Moreover, in addition to honey-based products, La Butineuse also offers fresh eggs from the farm, providing a selection of local products. This experience at La Butineuse is an exceptional opportunity to savor the treasures of the South while supporting a passionate beekeeper committed to the well-being of bees and the preservation of nature.
