"From May until 20 June approximately we place the hives in our unit area in St. Catherine (where the sun rises) so that the bees gather honey early and from 20 June to late August in the transfer Emporio for late honey. "
According to agronomists who know the beekeeping "the Greek Honey is considered as the best in the world, since the superiority due to the great biodiversity (large number of different plants), on soil, climatic conditions of our country and the high cognitive level, professionalism and enthusiasm of the Greek beekeeper. But then a brand name. Standardisation-processing this problem comes to solve. The Greek honey acquire the added value of the contribution. "
