Honey of Lipchius, forest honey, heather honey - all in the autumn blossom honey, which is the last honey harvest in Lithuania. It is one of the darkest honeys, sometimes resembling caramel in appearance, texture and taste.

In autumn, the number of flowers decreases, so the bees collect this honey only from the sap of the latest flowering forest plants and trees. Where do bees get this sap? They get help from various beetles, mainly aphids. The aphids break down the integrity of the plant and the honeydew - the plant's sap - oozes to the surface. This honeydew is collected by the bees and stored in the hive to produce honeydew honey, and since it is collected in the forest, it is also forest honey.

Depending on the plants from which it is collected, honey from Lipchus has a wide range of health-giving properties. In folk medicine, it is used not only to relieve the symptoms of colds, but also to support the digestive and other organ systems.

To experience the health-boosting properties of honey, it is best to consume it regularly. One teaspoon of honey a day (e.g. with water) can significantly improve our health and immunity.

Let's develop good habits every day - delicious tea with honey!
