The process
From hive to the honey jar, we’re involved at every stage of our honey’s journey – from finding the perfect locations for our hives all the way to packing, labelling and dispatching our honey.
Location.
We carefully chose floral sources in beautiful bush and pasture areas across Bulgaria. These locations are far from big cities and pollution, ensuring the quality of or honey.
Bees.
We visit our sites to check our bees are in the best environment they can be and are well looked at.
From the moment our master beekeeper opens the beehive and pulls out the first frame, he assesses the hive to ensure the Queen is happy and there is no disease. If the hive is going well, he leaves it to do its thing.
Once the bees have filled the combs and the honey is ready, we harvest the honey boxes while still leaving adequate stores of honey for the hive to continue to thrive.
Extraction.
Once our honey arrives at our home base, we process the honey boxes using our own extraction facility.
This is a manual job and requires time and strong hands.
First, we uncap the frames. After that, we spin them in a machine called a honey extractor.
The result is a rich, golden honey that retains its original goodness and flavour for you to enjoy.
Packing & Dispatch
We pack the jars into retail packs for the customer to enjoy. We have wonderful customers who we work with both online and in stores. We’ve known some of our customers for a long time, and we appreciate the feedback they give us and personal contact we’re able to have.
