Inhale valuable beehive air and relax – sounds weird, but it perfectly works: Enjoy a soothing Api-Wellness session at Hotel Rinner in South-Tyrol and spoil yourself!
“The guests often don’t quite know what they’re expecting, but then get enthusiastic. Almost everyone becomes a repeat offender! “, says Katrin Rinner, who is operating the hotel in Oberbozen with her family.
Make yourself comfortable and relax, while you will be soothed by the sound of the bees humming. An inhalation device gently sucks the hive air through a fine mesh into your ventilation mask through a heated tube. Do not worry: The bees won’t be disturbed by your treatment.

Extend your well-being – far beyond your vacation
The diligent insects produce ventilation by beating their wings and therefore the valuable ingredients of the beehive are released into the air. And it is precisely this precious beehive air that you inhale during the unique Api-Wellness treatments. The air, which now contains natural substances, increases the overall well-being and has a healing effect on various respiratory problems and allergies.
The beneficial treatment lasts about half an hour and can be performed from May to September during the bee season. The Rinner family has been passionately committed to the bees for three generations and that’s why their wellbeing matters a lot to them. Guests can ensure themselves by having a look into the beehive.
Discover your personal beehive for your stay at Hotel Rinner
Every day the bees are busy, and every day the colors and fragrances in the hive change. And you don’t need to be afraid of stings as everything is secured with nets and guards to keep both humans and bees safe. And even all the allergy sufferers out there don’t need to worry! The body does not react to the substances in the air in the same way as it does to the poison from a sting.
“I like to tell the guests that this is your beehive for the near future, take a close look at it and observe the changes,” says Karin Rinner.
In order to feel a longer effect, you should participate in at least three Api-Wellness sessions. Early in the morning the body is particularly receptive, but the beehive air is the most concentrated in the afternoon when the bees are back in the beehive It is ideal to take time twice a day for an Api-Wellness session – one in the morning, one in the evening.

Happy bees, happy guests
“Our Api-Wellness bee colonies are perhaps the happiest there are,” says Karin Rinner. “They collect nectar all day long and we leave everything in the hive – honey, pollen and propolis. So, in autumn our guests can inhale the scent of the pollen from the spring, and every beehive is different and special. A lot of honey accumulates in the beehives, but we leave it for the bees for winter. “
Since his early years, host and beekeeper Paul Rinner has dedicated himself to beekeeping with his heart and soul. He uses the „Beecura system “for Api-Wellness, a special inhalation system for hive air. The system allows the valuable air, smelling faintly of beeswax, to be breathed in and enjoyed without disturbing the bees. Furthermore, Paul Rinner is a traveling beekeeper: he brings his colonies to the locations where they find the best conditions for a rich honey yield. “We hike with the colonies at night when they have all returned to their hives. We close the flight hole and send them on holiday!” Karin Rinner explains.
The honey-yellow touch
The life of bees takes pride of place at Hotel Rinner, and not only with the beekeepers and Api-Wellness treatments but also with the spacious and carefully designed rooms. Try different honeys from the in-house beekeeping and enjoy a honey-themed gala dinner focusing on bee and honey. The sustainable handling of resources plays a special role for the Rinner family – and not only as the bees find their optimum living conditions solely in intact nature.
