We are working with a young beekeeper in the beautiful Balagne region of Corsica, which is free of pesticides and crops. A few years ago, Colin took over the beekeeping business of his parents who settled in Corsica in the 1970s. Colin is passionate about beekeeping and practises traditional beekeeping, which guarantees the good health of the bees. Also, this honey is PDO with very precise specifications that emphasize the respect of the bees and the traceability of the honey.
Corsica has always been a land of beekeeping, with a beekeeping tradition that goes back to antiquity. The "mele de corsica PDO" designation is essentially based on
- the specificity of the Corsican flora, which includes a large number of endemic species,
- a Corsican ecotype bee (Apis mellifera mellifera corsica),
- a beekeeping know-how that combines tradition and technicality.
