The Bear’s Honey
For the last 17 years we have been involved in organic beekeeping. It is a conscious choice to protect the environment by maintaining the sustainable nature of beekeeping and at the same time to have full control of the production while maintaining a very high level of quality of our products.
Because our honey is unique. The Bear’s Honey
The beekeeping house, ‘The Bear’s Honey, is a beekeeping entity that began in 1950 fueled by the love and passion of our family who believed in beekeeping as a way of life.
Today, the third generation of our family remains loyally devoted to the wholesome and high-quality production of beekeeping products as well as the creation of new products featuring honey as the key ingredient.
Inspired by the ‘philosophy’ of bees, we try to operate like they do, producing symbiotically, respecting nature, and in a way that positively contributes to human flourishing, health, and wellbeing.
Incorporated in our mission is the education of children and adults about the crucial role that bees play as pollinators of our food. Our beekeeping products are unique due to the rich flora of the wider mountainous region of Drama. The mountainous Drama is a botanical garden, considered the ‘Mecca’ of the Forest Wealth of Greece. The Rhodope Mountains, ‘Menoikio’ Mountain, and ‘Falakro’ Mountain, have the richest flora in Europe, flush with 4,300 species and subspecies of herbs.
Our honey is 100% produced from the riches that this native, mountain vegetation yields.
It is therefore a natural consequence that our selection and flavors of honey collected in this area are sweet ambrosias, offering rich, luscious, and complex tastes, with delicate and intoxicating aromas.
The quality of our honey has been heralded and celebrated by the continuous awards received since 2011 for the best organic honey in the annual BIOLMIEL competition taking place in Italy. Notably, in 2019 we won five awards (2 gold and 3 silver) with a selection of 5 different kinds of honey.
Our production aims at special varieties of honey as well as innovative food products based on honey.
