A special honey produced by bees using the secretion of an insect that lives in the trunk of pine trees. This insect feeds by sucking the sap from the pine tree and secretes the excess sap as a sweet substance. The insect secretes this liquid between July and October, which is collected by bees. It is produced in the regions of Kepsut, Balya, Ayvalık and Havran. Kızılcam (Pinus brutia) and Karacam (Pinus nigra) are found in these areas. The ability to store for years without spoiling or freezing is the most important characteristic of pine honey. Its colour is darker than that of flower honey. Although slightly less nutritious, it is particularly good for throat problems.

Aasa Mesi Mahe Metsaõite Mesi
Aasa Mesi is a beekeeping company with a long tradition, where the principles of producing high-quality honey have been passed on from father to son for the third generation. Organic forest flower honey is produced in Lääneranna Parish, Pärnu County. It is honey that brings out the best flavors from the pure nature and powerful vegetation of the West Coast. The main foraging areas are forest areas, which alternate with wooded meadows, bogs and swamps, creating a very diverse plant community where every other plant is a medicinal plant. The taste is toned down by tankwood, eelvaks and elk hemp.
Aha Honey
Born in Tahiti, we moved to Aotearoa (New Zealand) in 2014. Stung by a passion for beekeeping back home, we decided to be part of the NZ honey industry. Over time our apiaries have grown throughout the local region, servicing local honey demands, now we are starting to export into Europe. Working with other beekeepers, we have kept supplying pure Manuka Honey as sustainability as possible.
