Honeys - Campredon Jacques

• Spring Honey:

This is the first harvest of the year. The hives feast on the nectar of the tree heather (white heather) with a pronounced caramel taste and flowering in March. Then their visits on the flowers of acacia softens this honey with the taste different according to the years, and the climatic conditions accompanying these flowerings.

• Honey of the Cevennes

The colonies which are deposited in the Cevennes in June, start their harvest on the acacias, then the bramble, before gathering the chestnut honey which they complete on the marjoram and the ash heather. Sustained taste with at the beginning and at the end of mouth, scents decorating the honey of chestnut tree.

• Honey of chestnut tree

The harvest of each apiary (28 hives) is individualized to the extraction by storage in the maturators (one maturator by apiary). This allows me, by tasting, to determine and select the honeys that the bees have elaborated exclusively with the nectar of the chestnut tree. Intense taste and reserved for afficionados.

• Honey of the high plateaus

Transhumant at the end of May on the black causse, at 900 m of altitude, the colonies will benefit (or not...) from the flowering of the meadows which surround them until August. The hard conditions of these plateaus make this harvest very random. But the honey that I obtain, with a flowery and sweet taste, enchants me.
