FRYGANA GREEK HONEY

https://olameli.gr/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/FRYGANA.jpg

Frygana [or Phrygana] is a type of low, soft-leaved bush and plant community that grows mostly in the Mediterranean regions, and especially the coastlines, where the climate is warmer and drier and the soil poorer in nutrients. The Greek islands provide the ideal climate and soil for this kind of vegetation, that grows in great numbers there.

Frygana is often composed of herbs such as thyme and wild thyme, lavender and wild lavender, rosemary, oregano and sage. It can be used either as cooking herbs and spices, raw material for the production of aromatic oils, ornamental plants, or – as in our case – the main flora source for the production of bee honey.

My name is Nikos and I am lucky enough to come from a magnificent island named Serifos in Cyclades. Although I was born in Athens, my dream has always been to live and work with nature. It was not until a few years ago that a friend of mine introduced me to the world of beekeeping, and since then it has become the love of my life! Straight away, I decided to study Apiculture at the Institute of Agronomic Sciences in Athens, and then start my own business in Serifos. It is not an easy thing to do, but the bee world is fascinating. I hope you enjoy my page, and of course my products! My father being from Crete and my mother from Serifos, my summers have always been shared between these two islands. Both places rich in culture and tradition, crystal blue waters and enticing surroundings, made me dream about the way that would allow me to spend more time there rather than in Athens, where I was living and working till then as a musician and a sound engineer. Following a friend's advice, I started attending some apiculture seminars at the Institute of Agronomic Sciences, first on an amateur level and then professionally. And then, my love for Serifos and bees blended together and suddenly it all made sense! At the same time, working closely with bees made me develop also a passion for photography. Being allowed to enter their micro-world and watch how this natural society operates, can only bring you a sense of admiration and awe. So, in time I deployed a small beekeeping business in Serifos, in the area of Agios (Saint) Panteleimon. The hives are located close to the chapel of Agios Panteleimon, where I am also a "ktitor" (according to the traditions of the island, a person responsible for the maintenance and operation of the chapel). The celebrations in the Saint's name take place every year on July 26 with a very nice feast at the chapel, with traditional music and food. As a small local producer, I offer only limited quantities of honey every season. The honey produced in Serifos is mostly of two types: Wild flower honey, produced in the spring from honey from wild levanters and other wild flowers, and Thyme honey, produced in the end of summer. Hello from Greece!
