Mel Aialma
We are a family that lives in a very little village in the North of Spain (Galiza). The zone where we live is very depressed and depopulated. But, in the other hand, our hives are surronded of wild forest and old chestnut trees. Nature takes part of our lives. We produces chestnut honey with a very special flavour that remerbers wood and wild flowers. The name of our brand (Aialma) means "soul" in old galician language. There are several ancient legends that talk about human souls that comes from the moon in form of bee and enter inside human bodies, when the person dies that soul returns (in form of bee) to the moon. Furthermore we add a mask in our honey container. This mask is a very old and tradicional mask (peliqueiro´s mask) of our village (Laza), where we have one of the most ancient carnival in the world. We hope you can taste and enjoy our honey as we do. For us, is a pleasure can show it to the rest of the world.
Mel Os Catro Ventos
After many years in the city, I embarked on my journey back to what would be my true home, my grandparents' house, Alemparte, a small village in the center of Galicia. There, among the mountains and the buzzing of the bees, life put in my path what is now a project with the name "Mel Os Catro Ventos" (Honey of the Four Winds). A honey that sells out every season and is a dream come true for me. Additionally, I work closely with other beekeepers and experts in a large project aimed at the recovery and preservation of the Galician black bee.

Melikastanitsas
Starting around 1950, Andreas Lambrou and his wife Angeliki, who were mainly engaged in farming, acquired their first beehives in baskets from the elderly grandfather George, father of Andreas Lambrou. Step by step and with a lot of efforts they began to learn and get into the spirit of beekeeping. At first they produced honey only for the family needs. Then, Andreas started to work actively and intensively with beekeeping. The little knowledge that his father had and a couple of books that were around at the time were the only skills he had. However the determination to succeed was huge. In 2009, after the death of the elderly Andreas, the younger son Panagiotis took over. Thus, with his wife Eleni he started a dynamic beginning with a lot of work and with passion. After a few years they decided from amateurs to become professional honey producers to share the wonderful taste and nutritional value of honey with all the world. Their aim is to sweeten the world and to share generously all the benefits of honey and other pure products (pollen, royal jelly and the fragrant mountain herbs). The will to learn was great so we attended all the seminars and conferences that were held on the bee and its products. At the same time, our beekeeping unit was growing, and so today we maintain more than 200 productive beehives, which we transfer all over Greece. We take advantage of the rich variety of plants and trees that the Greek land offers and depending on the season we transport our beehives in order to collect different varieties of honey, with authentic flavors, variety of colors and aromas, rich in ingredients and excellent quality. Following the traditional beekeeping methods for the production of honey and other products and knowing very well their nutritional value, we make sure that they are available as nature has made them and as the bees collect them in this unique way. The excellent quality of all the products we produce is due to our many years of experience in the field of beekeeping. This is the reason why our products stand out and they are trusted by our consumers, winning new customers every day and keeping the old ones.
