April and May are open at the Golden Bee.  There are two apartments available, it's a perfect place for 2 couples to come and spend time together.  The Queendom on the first floor is a great place to cook together and create amazing meals. The large dining area opens into the garden. The Panoromantica is located on the third floor and has an incredible view of Guanajuato, and a terrace to watch glorious sunsets.  This is a town to explore with friends. There are many museums, cute cafes and music to enjoy nightly. Come, connect and relax in a beautiful cultural rich environment.  The apartment links will take you directly to Airbnb. Spending time with friends is precious.  Reserve your place at our table now.

We enjoyed laying out the entrance and bathroom floors for the Queendom. Sara•Tink designed all the molds and colors for the traditional concrete tiles. What a huge project that was! Come on down to the Golden Bee and enjoy walking on the smooth shiny surface.

Sara•Tink made this Kitchen lighting for the Queendom out of recycled Venetian blinds. It was such a fun project.

Enjoy an amazing view of Guanajuato and just a 20 min walk down hill into the centro.

This place is a work of art. Every little detail is both aesthetically pleasing & physically comfortable. I stayed on the top floor & had an INCREDIBLE view of the city & surrounding mountains. No need to consult your weather forecast for rain, you can just see it. It’s a bit of a walk to the center of town (at least 20 min), but the view is worth it, & cheap taxis are always an option. Other highlights include the skylight, shower space & the beautiful herb & cactus garden on the ground floor, good for a morning coffee or late night storytelling (we indulged in both with the lovely neighboring guests we befriended on the first floor).  Danny USA

At the Golden Bee and Forecer Casitas, we focus on exhibiting contemporary and traditional art. Since we are artists you will see some of our pieces on the walls as well as works we have pick up along our travels. We love to meet and support artists as we travel. We have a collection of prints, paintings, ceramics, and more. Come visit and enjoy a wide range of materials, mediums and genres, ever evolving and always changing.

These beautiful carvings were designed by Sara•Tink & Theo along with master carvers from outside of Pátzcuaro MX. We had a great time working together. Come down and enjoy the textures.

This was such a fun project.  Sara•Tink made the bees out of Plasticine and plywood.  After taking molds of them we brought them down in our suit cases. Customs was bewildered.

A unique, comfortable and warm space to experience the heart of Mexico. Our stay at Golden Bee was so special! The garden and extra design touches make the space a very peaceful and warm home away from home. The sunset views are spectacular and the location is ideal. We especially loved making breakfast every morning in the spacious gourmet kitchen. The best part of our stay at the Golden Bee were the tremendously warm and helpful hosts.                            Olivia, Florida USA

非常喜欢这个大院子,里面的植物都非常漂亮,尤其是那棵仙人柱｡下午阳光会照进餐厅,使房间更美了｡每一处地方都能看出Sara的心思｡三楼的天台可以欣赏夜景｡门口有一辆公交车可以去市中心,对面有一个小店可以买到水果和鸡蛋｡一切都很完美!        
I really like this big yard, the plants inside are very beautiful, especially the fairy column. The afternoon sun will shine into the kitchen and dining room to make the room more beautiful. Every place can see Sara's mind. The roof on the third floor you can enjoy the night view. There is a bus to the city center at the door, and there is a small shop opposite to buy fruit and eggs. Everything is perfect!                                                                                                                        LUI, Shanghai China

Yes, building the GOLDEN BEE was one of the largest projects Theo and I, Sara Tink, ever took on. It took 6 years to complete. We couldn't have done it with out the support of my mom, Liz and Architect David Chavez Chavez, plus an AMAZING CREW of master builders. 

Where to start? I guess I will start with a question almost everyone asks, "how are the Bovadas built?" I think its easier to show in photographs. So below are a few photos of building the Bovada on the third floor, Panoromantica, Suite.  A Bovada is a domed ceiling built without a form. Each brick is placed and held until it stays and then another is added. One by one unfolds an upside down woven brick basket. The shape changes while building up a few feet a day all around the circumference of the space. A very special mortar mix is used, this recipe is passed down by Bovadaro family members. By slowly curving and working up the dome is formed and then is closed in at the top.  It's very magical to watch, the sky just disappears a little bit everyday. It goes pretty fast and all of the sudden your standing underneath a work of art. The kitchen Bovada in the Queendom suite downstairs is also built with this same technique, but it's at least twice the size, and is a rectangular dome.

Half way done...

Almost finished, isn't that just magical. And to top it off it has a glass cupola in which you can see the night sky.
