The mount of Lecina is abundant in flowers almost throughout the whole year; practically all the families in the region had “arnales” (beehives).
The honey completed the diet, was used in the rich almonds nougat and in many other desserts, and due to its excellent quality, was preferred by the Barbastro confectioners to that of other places.

It is the sunny place protected from the wind in which the beehives were settled.
“Las Arnas” are usually small constructions made of dry stone or masonry, opened on the outside and protégées with a flagstones roof; other times the beehives are installed in rock shelters and small caves opened in the walls of the ravines. In them the arnas or beehives were located, a little less than a meter long, and made of a vegetable framework isolated with cow feces and mud.

In its interior wood pieces were placed to different heights, on which the “arnas” or beehives were located. This type of beehive, vertical or horizontal, is typical of the North of Africa, although it appears exceptionally here, in the other shore of the Mediterranean.
