I know it's the telegraph and it's behind a paywall but it usually lets you look at a few articles a month free

"Lying on a bed directly above a giant beehive might not sound the most obvious way to unwind after a hard day, but “the UK’s first bee therapy retreat” is offering guests a massage from the insects’ “micro-vibrations”.
A specially-designed triangular, wooden structure, known as an apipod, has been erected in a glade in the grounds of Monachyle Mhor Hotel in Crieff, Perthshire.
Guests can relax or fall asleep on two sheepskin-covered beds inside the apipod, situated directly above six beehives housing 60,000 honey bees.
The bees have their own entrance, separate from the guests above, and a metal mesh has been installed between the pod walls and the hives so only sounds and smells reach the interior".
As the bees are contained, visitors cannot be stung."
