Good beekeeping practices are not a simple task!
Beekeeper and Nature
Greek honey is the result of the dedicated work of thousands of skilled beekeepers across the country, who follow responsible practices deeply rooted in ancient tradition.
What makes Greek honey so special?
From thyme-covered islands to the fir forests of the Peloponnese, Greek honey is shaped by nature and tradition.
Since 1928, ATTIKI Bee Culturing Company has been building relationships of trust and respect with Greek beekeepers, preserving strong family values while ensuring the production of pure, high-quality honey.
There are about 22,000 beekeepers, who manage approximately 2,257,994 hives, distributed all over Greece.
The beekeeper’s work varies every month and there are so many of them. But there are some tasks that persist all year round…
Every month the activities of the producers change according to the weather, blooms and the strength of the hives. Read more about the beekeeper's activities throughout the year in our article.
Τhe coming of spring means that beekeepers' tasks increase far and away. This is because flowering thrives and so does honey production.
In summer, due to the constant transfer of hives and the high temperatures, beekeepers’ work is really demanding. Their most important task is to make sure that there is always a constant and steady flow of clean and fresh water near the apiary.
