Frühtracht 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.

This early batch honey is made from the nectar of a wide variety of plants collected in the spring. As a rule, these are maple trees, dandelions, fruit trees and various meadow flowers and wild herbs, depending on weather conditions, up to a proportion of black locust. As flowering times are highly dependent on each year’s individual weather conditions, there can be significant differences in color, aroma and consistency. 

A distinctly fruity and caramel honey.
