Collection of honey from a thousand flowers:
Thousand flower honey is harvested in June and July. Unlike the mountain honeys that are harvested in the following months. These honeys can have very dark colors and similar to the naked eye, but their taste, aroma and characteristics are totally different.
Multi-flower honey comes mostly from flower nectars. Mountain honey, on the other hand, has a high mineral content because it comes from the honeyates of trees and shrubs.
The same colour in multi-flower honeys is due to the nectars and pollen of the flowers collected by bees. The chestnut and blackberry give very dark tones to the honeys.
Another characteristic that differentiates the thousand flower honeys from the mountain honeys is their electrical conductivity. The higher the electrical conductivity, the higher the mineral content and the less sweet. The mountain has an electrical conductivity always much higher than that of a thousand flowers.
