Fujimi Apiary Co., Ltd. opened "FUJIMI Propolis Museum," Japan's first facility where visitors can experience the charms of propolis, on February 23, 2026, "Fujimi Apiary Day."
Based on the knowledge and technology cultivated over 60 years since its establishment as a specialized propolis manufacturer, the company hopes many customers will visit this place to experience the appeal and value of propolis. (※Company's own research)
Admission to this museum is free and requires advance reservations. Details on visiting information and reservation methods can be found on the official website.
**About the Propolis Museum**
The interior of the museum is designed to resemble an apiary in rich nature, where visitors can explore amidst the chirping of birds and the buzzing of bees.
The exhibits introduce the mechanism by which bees collect plant resin to produce propolis, as well as the history and research of propolis, and products from various countries around the world.
Beekeeping equipment actually used in propolis production and valuable materials are also on display, making the content enjoyable for a wide range of visitors, from those new to propolis to experts in bee products and health foods. By three-dimensionally representing the workings of nature and bees, visitors can learn about the previously unknown background of propolis.
Furthermore, the patented "Supercritical Extraction Method" that the company has been working on for many years is also explained, allowing visitors to experience the "commitment to quality" through the process from extracting active ingredients from raw propolis to delivering it as a product to customers.

**Background of the Opening**
While propolis has been used as a health food ingredient for many years, its specific properties and value are still not fully understood.
In this context, Fujimi Apiary, with a strong desire to "correctly and widely convey the appeal of propolis," decided to open this museum for the purpose of promotion and enlightenment.
To pass on propolis to future generations, the company wanted to create a place where local elementary and junior high school children, as well as younger generations, could actually see and feel it. That wish is at the root of this facility.
The company also aims to contribute to the local community by utilizing this museum as a place for interaction with local residents.
Beyond being just an exhibition facility, the museum aims to convey the value of propolis as an "experience" and serve as a hub to connect people, further expanding awareness and promoting its use.
