Time for Sweetness
Jyoti introducing our own beehive.
Around 20.000 Bees inhabit the hive. It is buzzing all day long. The bees are surprisingly peaceful, even without hand protection we can touch their home and rearrange the honeycombs. We cannot wait until spring for the next harvest!
Why we Love Honey
Even though there is a significant knowledge about the importance of bees for the planet, currently there is very little understanding about the benefits of honey for our physical health and vitality.
Honey from Supermarkets is mostly treated with heat and processed in ways which destroy the benefiting ingredients in honey.
“Honey is one of the best things you can consume!”
“Physical stability, Psychological wellbeing and vitality can be greatly enhanced simply by consuming honey daily.”
The Taste of vast Forests
Last month we received a fresh harvest of Silver Fir Honey. An especially aromatic honey.
