Pyrenees forest honey 500g

Forest honey has an intense taste and a good length in the mouth. Made from nectar and honeydew, it is a concentrate of woody flavors. Where are the forest honey apiaries? I harvest this honey in the upper Arize valley, in the Ariège foothills. When is it harvested? This polyfloral honey is harvested in spring. What is forest honey? This local honey is a mixture of nectar and honeydew. It comes from several plants. Bees collect honeydew mainly from oaks and deciduous trees. Honeydew is secreted by insects such as aphids or mealybugs. They produce it by feeding on tree sap and deposit it on the leaves of trees which the bees will then harvest. Very sweet, it contains a lot of fructose. The presence of honeydew gives it this very characteristic powerful taste and a darker color than acacia honey, for example.
