What is Extracted Pine Honey?
It is the honey produced by honeybees (Apis mellifera) by collecting the sweet liquid left by the Homophlebus helenicus, the scale insects that live on the unique red pine trees of the Aegean region, after digestion. It is a valuable type of honey with its taste, smell, consistency, and unique color.
Characteristics of Pure Pine Honey
It generally has a unique structure with its dark color, consistency, and distinct flavor. It does not contain pollen. Extracting pure pine honey from bees is quite difficult. Even if it contains a small amount of flower honey, it may still contain a small amount of pollen.
Consumption Recommendations
Pine honey can be consumed for breakfast or mixed with other bee products (royal jelly and pollen). It can be consumed by those with pollen allergies.
Storage Conditions
All honey naturally tends to crystallize. However, pine honey either doesn't crystallize or crystallizes late. Depending on its type, ingredients, and storage conditions, honey can crystallize early or late. In fact, honey should be consumed as is. Due to consumption habits, it is desirable for it to be fluid and clear. Crystallized honey returns to its original state when heated in a controlled manner and using appropriate methods.
Store in a cool place (below 22 C), away from heat and light, and with the lid closed. Water entering the honey causes it to ferment.
Let's Get to Know Beyçeri Beekeeping
With the arrival of spring and the revival of the rich flora, beekeepers begin a feverish workday. Bees begin collecting pollen and nectar, multiplying rapidly, increasing the population. As bee colonies develop in spring, the nectar flow eventually increases, and the highly populated bee colony carries the abundant nectar back to the hive and begins producing honey.
It's now harvest time for beekeepers, and honey is extracted using modern techniques. Samples of the extracted honey are first brought to the Beyçeri facilities. The quality control department conducts physical and chemical analyses of the samples. After this preliminary inspection, the accepted honey is brought to the facility, where all honey samples are analyzed again. The honey that passes this stage is then stored in the Beyçeri facility under appropriate storage conditions. The packaging process is carried out using the latest technologies, using a fully automated system that leaves the honey completely untouched.
The packaged honey is now available to our consumers with the Beyçeri guarantee.
