The organic Arbutus Honey “FASILIS” is collected from the gorges and the green slopes of Mount Parnon at an altitude grading from 200m-800m. The area of Mount Parnon and the gorge of Leonidio (where the Monastery of Elona is situated) are part of the Network Natura 2000. It is a European Ecological Network of areas that host natural habitats of some species which are very important at European level.
The Arbutus Honey is harvested in this virgin region from April until late May and since it is the first production of the year, bees offer their pollination services with great enthusiasm. If the flowering of the Arbutus is successful that means that we will have a successful beekeeping year and moreover healthy and strong hives.
