Reagan’s Honey takes guests off the beaten track
Away from the resorts of Seven Mile Beach and the rapid development of George Town, there is a corner of Grand Cayman that remains wild.
Tucked away in Savannah’s logwood forest, Reagan’s Honey has found an ideal location for nurturing one of the islands’ oldest transplants: honey bees.
Likely brought to the islands generations ago from Europe, these bees now serve as a major pollinator for Cayman’s fruit trees and mangroves. They also play host to one of the islands’ most unique tours for visitors and locals alike.
Off the beaten track, head beekeeper Jamaal Solomon guides guests, suited up in full protective gear, below the forest canopy and beyond scattered ponds to his family apiary, named for his 4-year-old daughter, Reagan.
