Background – Mountain Apiaries
MELODIA – Organic Beekeeping is a family business that produces unprocessed and organic honey of high quality, beeswax, propolis and pollen. It was created in 2013 thanks to the hard work and passion of beekeeper and producer Kiriakos Viros. It is based in the middle-mountain settlement Karitsa in Epirus, Greece. Today, it has in its disposal 650 beehives, all organic certified. It transfers its apiaries seasonally in mountainous and pristine locations like the Pindos mountain range. The ideal ecosystems, the affluence of the wild herbs and the luxuriant forests offer rare, single-variety honeys of high nutritional value. Its honey is packaged and standardized in a modern packing plant certified by ISO:22000 and HACCP.
At the same time, it is more and more engaged in the distribution and promotion of its products to the Greek and international market, highlighting the characteristics and the quality that Greek honey has.
As a result, it takes part in Greek and international exhibitions about food and organic products.
MELODIA of nature
❝ I got my first five hives because I wanted quality food for me and my family.
Soon the beekeeping captured my attention and won me over.
As I started to learn more and more about the bees, I was taken aback by their perfect biology and their enormous contribution to the ecosystem.I am always on the lookout for the best varieties of honey that unspoiled Greek nature has to offer.
As a result I have watched swarms of bees fly around orgasmically in order to collect the nectar and the pollen from flowers. It is like a harmonious orchestra with nature playing the role of the maestro and the bees as the musicians that altogether compose …the MELODIA of nature. ❞
