Forest blossom honey

Description

We got to know Arno Löbe through Jens & Jule from the Ahrensdorfer Kräuterwelten. That’s right: that’s Jens Wyllegala and Jule Winkler, purveyors of the best German strawberries and tomatoes. Although the fields of Jens and Jule are within the flight range of Arno’s bees, Arno always provides them with a scion or a swarm of bees on request, so that nothing can go wrong with the pollination of the plants. In the direct surroundings of the two main locations there are plenty of maple, linden and fruit trees on offer for Arno’s little friends, while the fields around Ahrensdorf are certified organic, meaning that no pesticides or mineral fertilisers are used. In addition, there is a large number of wild herbs to be found in the crops, which is much appreciated by the bees. At the Siethen site, there are extensive stands of black locust (commonly called acacia) and linden, as well as a portion of organically managed cropland as well.

For Arno Löbe’s forest blossom honey, the bees mainly collect the nectar from black locust and linden trees as well as from blackberries, raspberries and a wide variety of forest flowers that grow and thrive on the edges of forest paths and in forest clearings. Depending on the year and the choice of flowers, the composition and taste of the honey can, of course, vary greatly. 

A rich, intense, sometimes spicy honey.
