Flower (meadow) honey

Flower or meadow honey is produced from the nectar of numerous meadow and field plants. During the season, bees visit a variety of blossoms – clover, dandelion, cornflower, daisies, meadow grasses, fruit trees and many other plants growing around the apiary. This diversity of flowers gives this honey its special, rich and changeable character.

Each jar of flower honey is a small “snapshot” of nature around the apiary at a given time. Its colour, aroma and flavour can differ from year to year, depending on which plants produced the most nectar that season. Because of its versatility, flower (meadow) honey is often the first choice for everyday use in the household.

Characteristics of flower honey

• The colour varies – from very light yellow to darker amber, depending on the plant composition.
• The aroma is pleasant, floral and varied – depending on which plants are most represented.
• The flavour is well balanced – from mild to more pronounced, but always pleasantly sweet and rounded.
• It usually crystallises more quickly – into fine or medium-sized crystals, depending on the ratio of plants.

Health benefits and use

• A wide range of plants – the diverse pollen makes it a “multi-purpose” honey for everyday use.
• A natural source of energy for the whole family – ideal for breakfast, a snack or before activity.
• Thanks to its pleasant taste, it is especially well accepted by children (except those under 1 year of age).
• Excellent for cooking and baking – as a natural sweetener in cakes, granola and desserts.

Flower (meadow) honey is the perfect “universal” honey for every household. It can be used as a spread on bread, to sweeten drinks, in desserts, or simply – eaten by the spoonful. As with all honeys, it is not recommended for children under one year of age.
