What is Demeter honey?
Demeter is more than just an organic label—it stands for the highest standards in organic farming. Demeter honey is produced according to strict guidelines that promote not only the welfare of the bees but also the sustainability of the entire environment. Our beekeepers practice natural beekeeping, avoid chemical additives, and preserve the honey in its purest form.
Why buy organic Demeter honey?
1. Species-appropriate beekeeping
When producing Demeter-certified honey, the welfare of the bees is our top priority. Our beekeepers take care to provide the bees with the most natural environment possible:
- Natural honeycomb construction: The bees are allowed to build their honeycombs from their own wax instead of using prefabricated plastic honeycombs.
- No artificial feeding with sugar water: During honey harvesting, only a portion of the honey is removed so that the bees can keep their own supply as food.
- Site diversity: The beehives are located in areas rich in organic and biodynamic plants , free from pesticides and monocultures.
2. Free from synthetic drugs
A distinctive feature of Demeter honey production is the avoidance of synthetic chemicals and pesticides. Diseases and pests are controlled exclusively with natural remedies such as:
- Essential oils (e.g. thymol or oxalic acid),
- herbal extracts or
- Combated with mechanical measures .
3. Biodynamic farming
The production of Demeter honey is closely linked to the principles of biodynamic agriculture , for example through:
- Promoting soil fertility: The plants grow on soils that are cultivated without chemical fertilizers.
4. Gentle honey extraction
Demeter honey is processed particularly gently to preserve its valuable ingredients:
- No heating: The honey is never heated above 35°C to preserve all nutrients.
- Manual harvesting: The honeycombs are removed by hand and carefully spun.
- No filtration: The honey is only coarsely sieved to preserve taste and consistency.
5. Sustainability and responsibility
The production of Demeter honey is not only sustainable, but also actively contributes to improving the environment:
- Promoting biodiversity : Biodynamic farming creates habitats for many insects and plants.
- Reduced CO₂ footprint : The regional locations of Demeter beekeepers and short transport routes protect the environment.
Demeter honey vs. organic honey – what’s the difference?
While conventional organic honey already meets high standards, Demeter honey goes a step further. The bees are kept in a species-appropriate manner, for example, through the use of natural honeycomb construction and the promotion of biodiversity around the bee colonies. Furthermore, only a portion of the honey may be harvested to ensure the bees have sufficient food.
