A dry wind from the Caribbean edges the van window as you roll off the main road and onto Cozumel’s quieter east side. Salt-sprayed scrub and low limestone bluffs give way to a small, sunlit compound where bees hum over native flowers—and Mrs. Martha, the local beekeeper, welcomes visitors with the pragmatic warmth of someone who works with living things every day.
