Though the name identifies the place as an apiary, it also serves as a hotel, resto, organic vegetable garden, handicraft and foodstuff manufacturer and store. But the place is really more like a farm so don't expect too much by way of amenities. They also make their own ice cream (and the cones for them, made from cassava) with flavors as unique as "malunggay", or moringa. It is also rather isolated given that the road is unpaved and likely to be very dark at night.

They also operate The Buzz Cafe that serve the same fare as in the farm, notably its ice cream. The cafe has 2 branches, one at the Island City Mall and the other at the Loboc River port (where one boards for the lunch cruise).

What to buy: Their store sells locally-made handicrafts and souvenirs woven from native materials as well as jams, pesto, sauces and sweet delicacies.

Buy your peanut kisses and shirts from this mall. The shirts are of good quality and they offer a lot of good items for sale. Get your deli meats for packed lunches from the supermarket, relatively cheap!

What to buy: Peanut kisses, danggit, baked polvoron.

What to pay: Php 1000 at the most - this includes shirts, food, possibly even seafood

Island City Mall (ICM) has a supermarket which has shelves specially for pasalubongs. Unless you're going to the Peanut kisses Factory, just buy you pasalubongs at the supermarket.

What to pay: Price would depend on size of packing, but I assure you, it's cheaper there than in tourist destinations.

Just outside Hinagdanan Cave, you'll find stalls for souvenir items. They have sarongs, t-shirts,tarsier keychains,tarsier magnets,cellphone bags,etc. of the same quality in other tourist destinations,but their prices are the cheapest. However, peanut kisses are best bought from the supermarket at ICM.

What to pay: 5 pcs for P100 (keychains,magnet)
P90 for sando, P100+ for tshirts

Instead of buying souvenirs @ one stop shops establishments along the road, it would be better if you just purchase them @ stands near the tourist attractions. Some shops offer discounts when we went inside however, we bought some shirts @ the stores near the hinagdangan cave, they're a lot cheaper. as in cheaper.

What to buy: * Souvenir T-shirt is cheaper in Hinagdanan Cave. You can get it as low as 99 pesos.
