BIO Meli Antheon & Konoforon (440g)Organic Wildflower & Conifer Honey - "Beekeeper Family"

Organic Honey from Beekeeper Family Papadopoulos…
Discover the Delicious & Inspiring Story Behind the Colourful Beehives!

Sakis remembers himself in the beehives from childhood, since his father Isidoros is a beekeeper from 1985. He loved their society & learned to respect bees & their way of life from an early age & that is how he decided to become a beekeeper. He studied Agronomy & Food Technology in order to develop his knowledge in various beekeeping practices. One of the first changes he wanted to introduce to the family business was the standardization of the honey & the development of his own brand. In 2016, together with his wife Annie, that is a graphic designer, they created the Beekeeper Family Papadopoulos brand. Isidoros & Sakis Papadopoulos, the father & the son, the 2 beekeeping generations, the big & the small beehives next to each other! The next change was the organic honey certification since all their beekeeping methods & practices have followed the principles of organic beekeeping for years. So, they officially joined organic beekeeping in 2019 & since the end of 2020, they are certified for the production of natural organic honey.

The “Organic Wildflower & Conifer Honey” encaptures the flavours & aromas of Kastoria & Halkidiki mountains. In early spring, the bee colonies are transported to various areas of Northern Greece, following the successive blooms in order to grow & reach satisfactory populations. They end up in the mountains of Kastoria & at an altitude of 650m where the bees collect nectar from different species of wildflowers such as acacia, wild clover, linden, mountain tea, wild thyme & much more. The journey continues by transporting the full of nectar hives to the mountains of Halkidiki where at the end of the summer, Sakis will be able to harvest the honey of flowers & conifers. The nectar of the flowers contains pollen grains from many plants in various proportions, a rich bouquet that gives to the honey a wonderful aroma & taste. These organoleptic characteristics are complemented by the mild & neutral taste of the coniferous trees inside the beehives. The final product is a thick & very slow crystallizing honey with unique aroma & taste.

Nature at its best…
