Honey from our own apiaries

Our honeys

Our bees gather whatever each season offers in the Taunus. The result is three regional honeys with distinct flavour profiles, ranging from mild and creamy to bold and spicy.

Taunus

Forest honey

Our forest honey is dark, richly flavoured and slightly bitter. Honeydew, sweet chestnut and blackberry give it its bold character.

Where our honey comes from.

Our bee colonies are located in Eschborn, Niederhöchstadt, Kronberg, Mammolshain and Bad Soden. Fruit blossom, gardens, meadows and forests provide a changing supply of forage throughout the year.

Because weather and flowering patterns make every beekeeping year different, the colour, texture and flavour of each honey may vary slightly. Our published DNA analyses show the plant profile detected in each tested sample.

Where does BienenWeiss honey come from?

Our colonies are located in Eschborn, Niederhöchstadt, Kronberg, Mammolshain and Bad Soden. There, the bees gather nectar and honeydew from traditional orchards, gardens and forests in the Taunus. Our published DNA analyses show which plants were detected in each tested honey. Find out more on our modern beekeeping page.

Why does honey become solid over time?

Crystallisation is a natural process and not a sign of added sugar. Honey naturally contains different proportions of glucose and fructose, so its composition determines whether it crystallises sooner or later. Spring blossom honey, for example, often becomes solid more quickly than forest honey.

How should I store honey?

Keep honey tightly sealed in a dry, dark place at a reasonably steady room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat; refrigeration is not necessary. It is best to always use a clean, dry spoon.
