Size:32 Ounce The honey produced by the bees on Ikaria, a Greek island in the Aegean Sea, is of particularly high quality due to the unique geographical and topographical attributes found on the Island. Honey from the "ancient healing Island" of Ikaria is medium to dark brown from the pine trees, herbs and other native island flora. It has a unique, rich flavor that sets it apart from other honeys. Ikaria is a mountainous island, located in the Eastern Aegean Sea, its rough terrain prevents conventional farming. AccordingIkaria is characterized by wild beauty. Visitors to the Island find high mountains with clean mountain air, hot springs, beautiful beaches with clear water and simple friendly people. Ikarians, on average, outlive just about everyone else in the world. “Honey from Ikaria contains anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and is eaten often” says Dan Buettner, author of Blue Zones and The Secrets to Living a Long Life. The pollen and nectar collected by the bees is 100% pure and free from any chemicals or pesticides/herbicides normally found in commercial or private farming. The bees are not fed sugar solutions as is typical in commercial apiaries. In addition to the pristine natural setting, there is no industrialization or large commercial enterprise on the island which would normally produce pollutants that despoil both water, land and air. The honey gathering by the bees is undertaken in almost perfect conditions. Numerous wild bushes and native plants abound that contribute to the special quality inherent in the honey produced on Ikaria. Amongst these are Spring White Heather, Greek Strawberry Tree, Wild Lavender, Fall White Heather, Akoniza, Pine, Thyme and Wild Oregano which are natural and unspoiled ground covers that flourish amidst the landscape of the Island
