Environment

The Norman bocage offers a wide variety of flowers, thus covering the needs in nectar and pollen for our bee colonies. The diversity of essences and the wide blossoming season grant them the resources to produce a unique honey displaying the complex flavours of this ecosystem and terroir.

The early flowers to emerge from the winter are visited by the bees, as soon as temperatures allows. The first pollens, of chestnut trees and then willows contribute to the resumption of brood rearing and the restarting development of colonies. Then the flowers from our hedgerows, meadows and orchards make the most of our bees food during the spring.

Our apiaries are located between Bayeux and le Molay-Littry, in pastures, on the fringes of woods.

We also have parternships with the vegetable farm “Les Jardins du Désert” in le Tronquay, where “Sol Vivant” organic gardening techniques are employed, giving year-round blossoming in exchange for pollination, and “Le Jardin des Sources” in Vaux-sur-Seulles, with 5000m² of botanic garden, exotic essences and wild flowers.
