Greek Forest & Flowers Honey – Golden Bee – 5kg

Greek Forest & Flowers Honey – Golden Bee – 5kg

The bees collect nectar from the flowers and the honeydew from the Coniferous trees and create an amazing combination of an excellent honey.

Our history begins somewhere in the 1950’s in the small village “Marathos” in Heraklion, on the island of Crete, where my parents (Andreas and Katerina Kostakis, with the help of their 8 children, amongst them me, as well) transferred on donkeys their bee hives in the “fraskia” (the Greek name for hives back in those times) around the regions of the village.
​
Their goal was to produce thyme honey and heather honey. This kind of honey was for family and friends. Later on, with the progress of technology, the distance was no longer a difficulty and the transfer of the hives became even easier with the use of vans. This is how we started transferring our bee hives anywhere we believed they could yield (for example, in the mountains of Ierapetra for pine honey, in Psiloritis [Mount Ida] for thyme honey and summer savory).
