TALKS ABOUT
MACEDONIAN ORGANIC HONEY
Never pasteurized, classic honey is cold extracted, filtered and liquefied at a low temperature to assure the conservation of the honey’s aromas and proprieties while enjoying a liquid texture.
The Macedonian bee has a shorter abdomen and wings and longer legs, a more docile temperature and reduced tendency to swarm. Traditionally the bees were raised in trmki, small conical hives made of straw, rushes and mud. Only a few beekeepers still use this ancient practice, but those who do say that even though yields are much lower, the honey is of excellent quality.

The honey is collected from the trmki by delicately pressing the combs, which, unlike in modern hives, cannot be reintroduced into the hive but are instead used to obtain wax for creams and candles. The bees kept in trmki also develop greater resistance to pathogens, like varroa mites, meaning fewer treatments are needed.
