Meadow honey is a natural product collected by bees from many wild meadow herbs and flowers. Its distinctive feature is that it has no strictly fixed composition: each batch reflects the flora of its location and harvest period. That makes meadow honey particularly valuable, bringing together the richness of nature.
🌸 Origin and harvest
📍 Meadow honey comes from a mixture of plants: clover, chicory, cornflower, bedstraw, mint, St John’s wort, thyme and dozens of others.
📅 Harvesting runs from the second half of May to August, depending on the region and weather.
🐝 This honey is the result of bees visiting thousands of flowers to gather nectar from fragrant meadows and woodland edges.
