The love at first sight meeting

Beekeeping and the fascinating world of bees entered our lives by the happiest of coincidences.

When we bought our house in 2014, we discovered swarms installed between the shutters and windows.

We picked them up, wiping away a few dozen bites along the way.

In order to learn how to take care of them, we read a lot of books with passion, watched many documentaries and we learned by doing. To make this passion our profession, we validated our knowledge with a BPREA beekeeping.

 

This is the creation of Oca Nera honey from Corsica.

Our hives are all located in Haute-Corse , some are fixed, for the others we use them depending on the flowering by transhumancing our hives there (clementine trees, summer flowers, chestnut grove).

With us you will also find chickens, geese, ducks and quails.

We are committed to the well-being of our animals, our poultry are free on our land by the river so that they can scratch the earth and feed on insects.

AOC - AOP
Corsican honey

The AOC “Corsican honey” was obtained in 1998 at the national level.

Thus recognizing a notion of “terroir” and a typicality.

The AOP was obtained in 2000 at the European level. The range of the appellation includes 6 honeys

(Spring, Spring Maquis, Summer Maquis, Chestnut Grove, Maquis Honeydew and Autumn Maquis).

The Specificities

- The Corsican flora includes a large number of endemic species.

- a Corsican ecotype bee (Apis mellifera mellifera Corsica)

- beekeeping know-how with traditions dating back to antiquity, combining technicality with modernity.

The controls

Our honeys are subject to annual checks .

Laboratory analyses are carried out to confirm

the quality and origin of the products (verification of the pollen spectrum, provenance identity marker).

Corsica offers exceptional endemic flora.

The environment

- a favorable climate allowing rich and diverse vegetation

- small areas of cultivation reducing the quantities of chemical inputs/pesticides.

We move some of our hives several times during the season in order to provide our bees with all the nectar and pollen resources available.

The honey stored in the supers is the colony's surplus.

It comes from the foraging of bees

on the flora available within a radius of approximately 3km.

100% raw.

From flowers to the hive and from the hive to the pots!

Honey is harvested as naturally and simply as possible. After mechanical extraction, the honey is filtered and then placed in jars without any further handling.
