As a recent guest at the luxury Nob Hill hotel, your travel4seniors.com editor and camera were invited to visit the hotel’s extensive honey bee garden. The on-site hives produce nearly a half-ton of honey every year.

The sweet product is harvested and served in hotel restaurants. Fairmont guests enjoy the fresh honey in soups, salad dressings, pastries and at the historic Fairmont’s traditional afternoon tea parties. www.fairmont.com/san-francisco
