В Онтарио открылся первый в Канаде центр релаксации с использованием пчелиных ульев

Visitors to a rural farm near Comber gathered for the grand opening of Bees & Bloom Wellness, where an unusual relaxation practice — known as Bee Bed Therapy — is quickly becoming a curiosity for those seeking new ways to manage stress. Guests who tried the experience said the gentle hum and warmth from the hives helped them unwind, though research into its mental‑health benefits remains limited. Inside a small wooden hut on Diana Graham’s 28‑hectare property, two custom‑built wooden beds rest above four active beehives. A secure screen separates guests from the bees, allowing the natural vibrations and warmth of the colony to rise through the wood. Graham, who operates Bees & Bloom Wellness, said the space can accommodate groups of up to six people at a time. Graham explained that the environment inside the hut is part of the experience. The air is filled with the natural scent of honey and beeswax, creating what she describes as a grounding, sensory atmosphere. She said the bees’ pheromones and the hive’s rhythmic vibrations are believed by practitioners to support respiratory health, boost the immune system, and help ease anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep disorders and overall well‑being. “Your anxiety will go down because the hum of these bees is absolutely amazing,” she told the Tilbury Times. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Although people offering Bee Bed Therapy say it can reduce stress, Graham acknowledges that scientific evidence is still emerging. Only a handful of similar centres exist across Canada, making the practice relatively new in the wellness world. Bees are “hard at work” on Graham’s farm, and the therapy sessions are priced according to group size. A 60‑minute session costs $85 for one person, $120 for two people, and $300 for groups of four to six, according to her website. The open house drew a steady crowd, with visitors exploring farm animals, sampling fresh honey, browsing local vendors, and touring Ontario’s first Bee Bed Therapy hut. Graham hosted the event on her grandparents’ 150‑year‑old property, where she recently returned to restore the family home and build a small farm with support from her partner, John. Throughout the day, guests learned about the farm’s history, the wellness program, and the unique therapy hut Graham created on her historic homestead. Many left curious — and relaxed — after experiencing a wellness practice unlike anything else offered in the region.
