Organic vs. conventional

Why organic honey?

Since 2000, guidelines fororganic beekeeping have been laid down by the EU Organic Farming Regulation. The most important Rules of organic beekeeping:

  • No use of synthetic chemicals in the honey harvest, in the treatment of bee diseases and for the control of
    pests.
  • Beehives may only be made of natural
    materials.
  • If winter feeding is permitted, the feed (sugar) must be 100% organically produced.
  • The location of the beehives must be chosen so that non-organically or organically farmed areas are in the vicinity wherever possible.
  • Beeswax for new central walls must come from organic production.
  • No clipping of the queen bee's wings.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about our products

Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about our products

What is propolis?

Our honey bees not only collect nectar and pollen, but also resins from various plants and trees. They process these with their own secretions to create the unique natural product: propolis. Our bees still use this to protect themselves from bacteria, viruses and fungi. In the beehive, many bees live together in a confined space at around 37° and humid air. To prevent the spread of diseases, the bees distribute the protective resin throughout the hive and use it to seal small gaps. This is what makes propolis so interesting for us humans. The protective resin has been used since ancient times and even the ancient Egyptians appreciated its effect.
Which plants does HOYER bee pollen come from?

Our pollen comes from the botanical families Cistaceae, Asteraceae, but also from Rosaceae and Quercus.
How does royal jelly come in capsule form?

In the so-called lyophilization, a freeze-drying process that preserves the value, royal jelly is particularly highly concentrated. In this process, the royal jelly is deep-frozen and dried in a high vacuum. This process makes it possible to concentrate three times the amount of royal jelly, i.e. 167 mg of lyophilized royal jelly is equivalent to 500 mg of fresh royal jelly.
