This honey is produced at our static apiary on the Rhodope Mountains at 600 m altitude in summer. From here the bees forage a virgin ecosystem with forests of maple trees, chestnut trees, linden trees, oak trees, acacia trees, fraxinous ornus trees and others alongside numerous plants like Sidr, Rubus, Cistus Creticus, Lilium Rhodopeum, Haberlea Rhodopensis, and many other endemic species of herbs and flowers, that exist in this unique floral plateau.
