The Valencian Museum of Honey (MUVAMEL) is a museum dedicated to beekeeping, located in Montroi, barely twenty minutes from Valencia by motorway. It was founded on the initiative of the town council in 2013 and has been part of the Network of Local Ethnological Museums since 2017. It occupies 358 m² on the ground floor of the municipal Multi-purpose Building. With an educational approach, its permanent exhibition explains the background of modern beekeeping, the morphology, taxonomy and communication of bees, and it also has an audiovisual room, workshops and a shop selling bee products. It reflects Montroy's strong beekeeping tradition, where one in three inhabitants is involved in the harvesting, production or marketing of honey.
