Description

Apiaries installed in various places enable the beekeeper to propose you different honeys flavors :
- Mountain Honey cropped in Albiez-le-Jeune in Savoie
- Sweet chestnut Honey cropped in Isère and Savoie
- Spring Honey cropped in Isère
- All flowers Honey cropped in Isère and Savoie
- Acacia Honey cropped in Isère

On the plains, bees are gathering pollen from rape flowers, cherry tree and hawthorn, what gave a sweet, white and creamy spring honey.

Later came the flowering of the acacia, a tree that gives a profusion of nectar if the meteorologic conditions are favorable. Acacia honey has a light yellow color, and has a very sweet savor, it doesn't crystallize.

In August, Edith crops a sweet chestnut honey, couloured amber and with a pronounced taste and smooth savour, as well as a all flowers honey.

In Albiez-le-Jeune, she crops a mountain honey that traduces the botanic wealth of the environment.
