Gombizau Honey Bee Farm

Gombizau Honey Bee Farm is an agro-tourism attraction in Kampung Gombizau, Kudat District, northern Sabah, Malaysia, about 20 kilometres south of Kudat town. Operated by the local Rungus community, it showcases traditional and modern beekeeping with numerous wooden hives housing stingless and honey bees. The farm is notable for educational demonstrations, honey tasting, and sale of raw honey and bee-based products, offering insight into rural livelihoods and sustainable apiculture in Sabah.

Visitors can expect a small rural farm setting with rows of wooden beehives placed in a garden and orchard area. A local guide typically demonstrates beekeeping techniques, explains the life cycle of honey bees and stingless bees, and shows honey harvesting and processing. Visitors can observe bees at work from a safe distance, taste fresh raw honey, and browse a shop selling honey, propolis, beeswax products and Rungus handicrafts. The visit is informal, educational and centred around the farm compound.

Kampung Gombizau has long been known among the Rungus community for traditional honey harvesting from wild bees. The farm was developed as a community-based agro-tourism initiative to preserve beekeeping knowledge, provide alternative income and educate visitors about apiculture in northern Sabah.

The farm reflects the agricultural heritage of the Rungus, the indigenous group predominant in Kudat District. Beekeeping and honey production are part of local livelihood traditions, and the farm also promotes Rungus handicrafts and village hospitality as part of the cultural visitor experience.
