forest honey

Unlike blossom honey, forest honey is not made from collected blossom nectar, but from honeydew, the excretions of plant-sucking insects. Forest honey has an incomparably spicy aroma and thus has a special position among honey varieties. It is naturally liquid and has a dark color. This and its strong taste vary depending on the type of plant and the plant-sucking insect - which is why every forest honey is truly unique. Although there are forests all over Germany, the extraction of forest honey is a complex process.

If the beekeeper wants to harvest this special honey, he must first "move" with his bee colonies and set them up with their hives within the flight radius of a forest area. Depending on what other nectar or food options are available, the bees decide for themselves whether they mainly collect honeydew or flower nectar. Forest honey made from honeydew is a rare and unique honey specialty whose taste The densely wooded and impassable region of southern Germany owes its special name to the Black Forest. Originally covered in dense mixed forest, today the landscape of the Black Forest is mainly dominated by spruce trees. A stroke of luck for the bees native to the area. In the dense forests they have almost unlimited access to the sweet honeydew.
