The Honey Beehive

Amateur beekeepers for about ten years, it is naturally that in 2017 we decided that this common passion would become our profession.

It was Virginie who first took the step of becoming a professional. She is currently working full time on the development of the company while Laurent has kept a salaried activity until he can join her.

Previously installed in the town of Marboz (01), we were able, at the end of 2019, to establish ourselves in a Bresse farm in the town of Pirajoux (01) where we built our new honey house, installed our apiary as well as all our equipment.

Today we devote ourselves essentially to the production of honey and from the season 2021 we could propose to the sale swarms and queens resulting from our breeding as well as royal jelly produced by our hives and collected by our care.

Beekeeping is above all a passion, where breeding, botany and observation of our environment are combined. It is thus a formidable link with nature and it is also the possibility of proposing a multitude of products containing honey. In this optic and as our job is above all beekeeper, we surround ourselves with craftsmen in order to elaborate with them quality products because it is not possible for us to resell for example industrial candies. All that we cannot make ourselves we make it by passionate craftsmen. The quality of what we offer is always at the heart of our concerns.

Finally, although Laurent is originally from the south of France, we have established ourselves in the department of Virginie's birth, because the department of Ain offers an uncommon diversity of landscapes (plain, mountain, forest). Its agriculture and its climate are so many assets that make it by nature a place suitable for beekeeping. Without practicing great transhumance we can produce completely different honeys rich in perfumes and flavors.
