Passion Honey | 14th round

We are the "Passion Honey" family of beekeepers. The premises of our apiary are located in the mountainous region of Holomont in Chalkidiki, in the University Forest of Taxiarchi, and in the area of ​​Dragoundeli in Sithonia Chalkidiki. Both are under the protection of the European Natura 2000 network. Honey as our main product is 100 % unprocessed and not subject to any added preservatives, colors or fragrances. Also, our honey does not go through a heating process, as a result of which its properties and nutrients are not lost. The varieties of honey we have are chestnut, fir, kumaro, oak, heather, pine, lavender and forest flower honey from aromatic plants and herbs of the region. We produce products such as: melenda, oxy honey, honey with nuts, with superfoods, with walnuts, and propolis oil. Another feature of our apiary is the non-administration of drugs to the bees, either preventively or for treatment. In the rare case that the bees face a disease, we make sure to use natural ways such as plants and herbs as treatment, according to old traditional beekeeping methods. With this philosophy we managed to make our products as natural as possible and unaffected by the human factor and contamination. After all, our effort for drug-free beekeeping was certified by Bio Hellas.

We want to transfer our love, enthusiasm, and knowledge about bees to the public, celebrate their contribution to nature and the food chain, and contribute to the growth of visitors to our mountainous and beautiful region.
