Production. Technology. Quality
Our entire production cycle is concentrated in the picturesque Novoaleksandrivka village. It is located among vast Ukrainian steppes, fields, and lush orchards and gardens at a considerable distance (over 100 km) from major cities and industrial centers.
We practice nomadic beekeeping.
To collect nectar, we first select the right location where the optimal mixture of plants are in bloom at that moment.
After careful selection, we transport the beehives. They will remain there for the entire period of collecting nectar.
We tirelessly ensure that our bees have constant access to lush flowers that can give the best nectar. We set a nomadic schedule so that the weather in this or that area facilitates the efforts of our little workers.
The big honey collection season begins in late May when acacia (black locust) groves are in full bloom. These trees fill the air with a light sweet aroma.
Harvesting of acacia honey, which is one of the most valuable types in the world, lasts only 10 days.
During this period, bees and beekeepers work literally day and night. Under favorable weather conditions, the content of acacia nectar in ‘Svoya Pasika’s’ honey can be as high as 50 per cent!
The second wave of honey plants blooming period takes place in June.
At this time, the steppes of Ukraine are painted in the colors of herb Barbara (Barbarea vulgaris), Viper’s bugloss (Echium vulgare), wild thyme (Thymus), yellow sweet clover (Melilotus officinalis) wild sage (Salvia officinalis) and other wildflowers.
Honey collected during this period has an unusual aroma and interesting taste. We call it wildflower honey.
The third wave of the honey collecting season comes in July.
The fields turn yellow. Its flowering time of sunflowers. Ukraine ranks first in sunflower production globally.
Sunflower honey is an exclusive Ukrainian beekeeping product.
‘Svoya Pasika’ sunflower honey has unique antibacterial properties and is naturally high in pure glucose content (which is reflected in a shorter crystallization time).
