The History

   Starting around 1950, Andreas Lambrou and his wife Angeliki, who were mainly engaged in farming, acquired their first beehives in baskets from the elderly grandfather George, father of Andreas Lambrou.
   Step by step and with a lot of efforts they began to learn and get into the spirit of beekeeping. At first they produced honey only for the family needs. Then, Andreas started to work actively and intensively with beekeeping. The little knowledge that his father had and a couple of books that were around at the time were the only skills he had. However the determination to succeed was huge.
   In 2009, after the death of the elderly Andreas, the younger son Panagiotis took over. Thus, with his wife Eleni he started a dynamic beginning with a lot of work and with passion.
   After a few years they decided from amateurs to become professional honey producers to share the wonderful taste and nutritional value of honey with all the world.
   Their aim is to sweeten the world and to share generously all the benefits of honey and other pure products (pollen, royal jelly and the fragrant mountain herbs).
   The will to learn was great so we attended all the seminars and conferences that were held on the bee and its products.
   At the same time, our beekeeping unit was growing, and so today we maintain more than 200 productive beehives, which we transfer all over Greece. We take advantage of the rich variety of plants and trees that the Greek land offers and depending on the season we transport our beehives in order to collect different varieties of honey, with authentic flavors, variety of colors and aromas, rich in ingredients and excellent quality.
   Following the traditional beekeeping methods for the production of honey and other products and knowing very well their nutritional value, we make sure that they are available as nature has made them and as the bees collect them in this unique way.
   The excellent quality of all the products we produce is due to our many years of experience in the field of beekeeping. This is the reason why our products stand out and they are trusted by our consumers, winning new customers every day and keeping the old ones.

Honey from Kastanitsa

The Place

In Parnonas or Malevos in the Peloponnese, in this beautiful corner of Greece that covers the entire eastern side of Arcadia, there is a small village, called Kastanitsa.

It is one of the oldest mountainous villages of Kynouria and according to the written texts it is the oldest “Tsakonochori”.

Kastanitsa is built among the fir trees and the large chestnut forest that surrounds it and has an area of 4,500 acres.

There you can find the base of the beekeeping unit, named Kastanitsa honey.
