Italian Whole Honey from the Trieste Karst 🐝
The line of Hives products was born from the desire born in 2010to also become beekeepers.
Tasting our Italian Honey, it will be possible to savor the passion and tradition that accompany the VonDerWeid company, combined with the unmistakable taste of theKarst region near Trieste.
We raise our bees in uncontaminated areas of the Trieste and Gorizia Karst
Our bees live in different uncontaminated areas of the Karst and the TriesteCoast and produce a very high quality honey, with a peculiar taste given by the territory in which it is extracted.
Our bees are raised with sustainable methods
The natural farming method bans the use of any chemical treatment. This is particularly important because in the fight against Varoa we use only natural products and family management techniques such as brood suspension.

Collection
The Karst is an arid territory where a strong north-east wind often blows, called the “Bora“. These particular geoclimatic conditions make the plants that inhabit it very rich in active ingredients and essential oils.
Honey extraction
The honey extraction, which is the final stage of production, takes place directly in our headquarters.

Packaging
Once the honey extraction is complete, we put all the honey in our special jars.
The Karst Honey, whole virgin and Raw, is treated raw rather than pasteurized, thus preserving all its precious natural nutrients.

Karst honey
Wildflower
From our bees, a raw WildFlower honey that contains Dandelion, Marasca, Robinia (Acacia) and Bramble.
From plants with a prevalence of pollen associated with Dandelion, Marasca, Robinia (Acacia) and Bramble, a fluid honey with a delicate and light taste is born.
Dandelion, which gives a pungent and characteristic taste, is well mitigated by the other notes present within the honey.
Marasca pollens give a bitter contribution reminiscent of almonds.
Usage
Acacia, on the other hand, gives a discreet taste, with a delicate acidulous tip.
The Bramble gives a dark note that pleasantly refers to the ripening of the fruit.
