Honey

Description

Our honey is collected by our bees in an overgrown area on the Moselle.

The beehives are managed as extensively as possible, we limit our honey harvest to around 20 kg per beehive, and the bees keep the excess as food for the winter. This allows us to feed only a third of the usual sugar syrup for the winter.

We let our bees swarm as nature intended and have only treated them once a year with formic acid against Varroa for years. Since there are no fields in the vicinity, we have no problems with pesticides and almost no colony losses.

We make spring honey in May, the bees mainly visit bushes, cherry trees, apple trees, and meadow flowers in spring, and a very light, fruity honey is produced.

The summer honey is harvested in July, it is darker and stronger in taste, and summer flowers, blackberry bushes, and various herbs are visited.
