Many types of honey are produced at different times of the year.
Acacia, with its delicate taste and light colour acts as an anti-inflammatory for the respiratory system and has detoxifying properties for the liver.
Chestnut honey has a bitter taste and dark colour and is very useful in the fight against cardio-circulatory problems.
Honeydew, very sweet and dark in colour is excellent for treating hoarseness and colds and is very similar to honey. It differs from the latter since it has a much higher protein content and it is not made from nectar but from a sugary dejection emitted by some of the flowers parasites. This substance is collected and transformed by the bees in the same way as nectar.
Royal Jelly, the substance, which is used to nourish the queen bee all her life, is very beneficial for humans as well. The consumption of royal jelly increases psychophysical performance and due to growth factor “R” it has a wonderful effect on children. Furthermore it has beneficial effects on the cardio-circular system, digestive system, it stimulates the metabolism and combats certain germs with an antibiotic action.
Propolis, which is a resin collected by bees from buds and bark has antibacterial, antioxidant and fungicidal properties. It is wonderful in the case of a respiratory infection.
