Berger d'Abeilles - Miels artisanaux / La Petite Boutique de l’OT
Honeys produced in harmony with the seasons, born of a family's passion for bees and nature—find them at the Petite Boutique at the Réquistanais Tourist Office!
Samuel Barthes works on the family farm and has a genuine passion for nature and the world of bees. Throughout the seasons, he tends to his beehives—which they have built entirely by hand—with respect for the bees and their environment.
Honeys That Reflect the Seasons
Berger d’Abeilles harvests four times a year, producing four honeys with distinct colors, textures, and flavors:
Spring honey: very light yellow in color, it is mainly harvested from fruit trees, dandelions, hawthorn, and holly. Its fine crystallization gives it a smooth, creamy texture that’s easy to spread.
Summer honey: harvested during the warm season, in July and August, it is distinguished by its dark blond color. It comes primarily from the flowers of brambles, chestnut trees, linden trees, clover, and alfalfa.
Chestnut honey: amber in color and with a rather distinctive flavor, it can be used to enhance dishes and is particularly well-suited for making gingerbread.
Rapeseed honey: the first honey of the season, it is mild, pleasant, and creamy thanks to its fine crystallization. Its light taste makes it a honey particularly appreciated by children.
From harvest to artisanal bottling, every step is carried out with care and respect for the bees.
