Usually, the springtime that follows is explosive. A considerable variety of plants and trees flourish here – almost 60% of the European flora species can be found in the Rhodopes. The plateau is significantly rich making the possibilities for the bees to seem endless. Later, in the mid-summer, bees will hunt after oak trees honey. The honey that is produced in the Rhodope Mountains after the summer harvest is the natural blend of Rhodopes’ flowers nectar and oak trees’ honey.
