Nestled on the shores of Lake Geneva in the Chablais region, in the shadow of the Pre-Alps, my beekeeping operation offers all-flower mountain honey.
My hives are located exclusively in the communes of Reyvroz, Maxilly, Féternes and Le Lyaud, where I practice sedentary beekeeping.
My bees are local, known as "black bees" because of their dominant color, and are resistant to the rigorous conditions of the mountain climate. They produce a honey with character at low altitudes, where chestnut and lime trees are very present, and a gentle honey at higher altitudes, which offer more varied nectars.
As the season is short in the mountains, I only harvest once a year, at the end of July and beginning of August, allowing the bees to blend all the nectars from the year's flower and tree honeys into the honey you'll enjoy.
