Did you know that the world of honey is full of curiosities?

Yes, and a Honeyenial knows them all!

Here you will find a selection of “did you know that…” with the most curious and unknown facts about honey, bees, their history… and much more! Honey wisdom!

DID YOU KNOW… A BEE HAS TO VISIT 7,200 FLOWERS TO PRODUCE ONE SPOONFUL OF HONEY (5 G). THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

DID YOU KNOW… A BEE CAN TRAVEL BETWEEN 40 AND 100 KM A DAY. QUITE A JOURNEY!

DID YOU KNOW… THE TYPE OF FLOWER DETERMINES HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR THE HONEY TO CRYSTALLISE. SOME CAN DELAY THIS PROCESS BY YEARS – AND THE BEST THINGS TAKE TIME!

DID YOU KNOW… ACCORDING TO THE GREEK MATHEMATICIAN PAPPUS OF ALEXANDRIA, “BEES PERCIEVE THAT THE HEXAGON CAN CONTAIN MORE HONEY THAN THE SQUARE OR THE TRIANGLE, WITH THE SAME EXPENDITURE OF MATERIAL”. THEY’RE GEOMETRY EXPERTS!

DID YOU KNOW… THE COLOUR ALLOWS US TO DIFFERENTIATE THE INTENSITY OF THE HONEY. THE DARKER IT IS, THE MORE INTENSE IT IS. THIS DEPENDS ON THE FLOWERS INVOLVED IN ITS PRODUCTION AND THE AMOUNT OF MINERALS. THE COLOURS ARE TO YOUR TASTE 😉

DID YOU KNOW… HONEY PRODUCTION RUNS FROM MARCH TO OCTOBER, AND WE CAN ENJOY IT ALL YEAR ROUND!
