Ikaria, Greece
We are a cooperative working against exploitation, with a horizontal structure of production that sustain and promote ethical working relationships.
The biological approach of managing bee’s culture was always for us an obvious and ideological choice. It was not made for money, or out of fashion. Producing according to bio- principles since 2001 and certified since 2011.
We produce pine tree honey in the island of Ikaria, one of the virgin and pure forests in Greece,way far from industrial places. We position our beehives in steep slopes,- Ikaria has plenty!- that fall straight to the sea, for the unique advantage of providing the bees with a flight range between sea side and mountainous environments.
But what Bio- means for Beekeeping?
We do not position beehives near areas of contamination (motorways, factories, litter drop points that emit heavy metals) or near conventional crops which contain high levels of pesticides.
We do not use chemical agents as remedies to combat diseases but biological means and the use of natural-technical methods.
The wax of the cells that bee’s work, live and store the honey at, is devoid of pharmaceutical products
We do not use methods of developing the beehives based on rapid expansion through alimentation with sugar.
