• Is it true that the thicker the consistency, the better the honey?

  Answer: No, it is not true. The purity of honey must not be judged on the basis of its thickness. Thickness has nothing to do with quality.

• Can we tell the purity of honey from its colour?

  Answer: No, bees collect nectar from various flowers and bring it back to their hive where they make the honey. So, depending on which type of flower nectar the bees gathered, the honey can range anywhere from nearly colourless to dark brown.

• Is honey a completely natural food?

• Does honey contain pollen?

  Answer: Honey Bees produce honey from the nectar of plants, not pollen. Pollen occurs only incidentally in honey. The amount of pollen in honey is very little and not enough to impact the nutrient value of honey.

• Does honey have an expiry date?

  Answer: No, honey does not have an expiry date, though it can still undergo some natural changes.

• How does the taste of honey vary?

  Answer: With nectar collected from so many different flowers and with native plants differing from region to region, it’s no wonder honey will taste different. Also, plastic and metal containers can leach chemicals into the honey and can alter the taste. So that accounts for the taste difference.

• Does honey help in alleviating cough?

  Answer: Yes, honey helps in alleviating cough as it is a remedy to soothe a sore throat. Honey can relieve coughs more effectively than OTC medications that contain dextromethorphan (DM), a cough suppressant.

  Answer: Honey should not be heated rapidly, over direct heat.

• Can I melt my chrystalised honey to become liquid again ?

  Answer: Yes, you can however heating the honey jar needs to be while submerged in water. Then slowly and gradually increase the temperature keeping it in the range between around 30 - 35C (which in fact is the natural temperature in the hive). If the temperature exceed 40C, the positive effects of the bio-active ingredients in honey are gradually killed/diminished.

1. Are your beehives stationary or they are mobile on platforms ?

   Answer: All our hives are stationary, located in 3 separate spots within 3km distance in the vicinity of Ljuti Dol and Ljuti Brod vilages (Bulgaria).

2. Do you produce Raps, Corn and etc monofloral honey ?

   Answer: NO. The region where our beehives are located (they are stationary) have no industrialized agriculture. Hence, technical cultures in sufficient quantities to produce monofloral honey are not present. That is not necessarily a bad thing, as Raps, Corn, Soya... all these technical cultures oftentimes are cared with pesticides, herbicides and poisons which can kill our bees or polute the honey with toxins. (not even to mention the GMO angle here..)

3. Can we come at the farm with our familiy to participate in honey harvesting or bee care ?

   Answer: Visits are always welcome, please contact us upfront with details of your visit. However, we do not yet provide a service and accomodation to participate during harvest. Nevertheless, we do plan to re-assess this in 2023 and development of Covid in Bulgaria.

4. Can I order higher quantity or other honeybee products that are not in the website ?

   Answer: Please use the contact form and we will evaluate the request.

5. Is the quality of the honey produced tested and controlled ?

   Answer: While testing the quality is not mandatory, prudently we submitted testing samples of all our harvests in a German laboratory.
