One thing every culture agrees on is that the mountains of Greece are a special place on Earth.
The terrain, altitude and remote location mean that this land is protected from the environmental damage so much of our world is plagued with.
The ancient oak forest in these mountains is one of the largest forests in the world.
You won’t find a lot of people or settlements in these mountains. The range is home to a few monasteries, villages made up primarily of stones, some farms and wild apiaries, like ours.
At an altitude of 1,640 feet, bees use these trees to make a rare honey. The view here is breathtaking.
The mountains of Greece are some of the most biodiverse places on the planet, due to the unique geology and Mediterranean climate. Thanks to their isolation, the trees are not exposed to the toxins and pollutants that are commonplace almost everywhere else in the world.
The mountains boast huge forests full of ancient oak trees. These trees thrive in a truly natural, GMO-free, unpolluted environment.
These forested areas can only be used commercially with permission from the forest authority.
This fertile territory can’t be used for farming or even visited freely in certain areas.
There is one exception, one type of agriculture that happens in harmony with nature, without damaging the forests...
The forested areas of these mountains contain large, beautiful oak trees. These protected trees are the source of one of the healthiest honeys you’ll ever taste — if you’re lucky enough to try some.
These trees produce a nutrient-rich sap that, through a complex natural process, is transformed into honeydew that bees then collect and use to create honey with powerful health benefits.
Far from civilization, beekeepers let each other use their lands to collect this organic honey.
This kind of forest honey is found almost nowhere else other than in the Balkan mixed forests, making it one of the rarest and most in-demand honeys in the world.
You Can’t Get Honey This Special Anywhere Else
Forest honey is in incredibly high demand. It’s not your run-of-the-mill honey. It’s much healthier and much less available. Unlike most honey that bees make using flower nectar, forest honeys are made through a more complex system.
It involves small insects who eat the tree sap and then release a sweet liquid called honeydew. This honeydew is rich in nutrients that bees can’t get enough of. The bees can be seen collecting it every day, sometimes even after sunset.
When bees make their special honey from the oak tree honeydew in the Balkan forests, the end result is rich in vitamins, antioxidants and trace minerals.
Not only that, but this honey possesses some surprising and impressive other qualities, as well.
Sure, oak tree honey is delicious. This is a subtle-tasting honey that is sweet, with caramel undertones. In Greece, it’s usually enjoyed spread over warm toast, and honey connoisseurs everywhere recommend it as a sweetener for anyone who is seeking a healthier alternative to sugar and sucralose. But its unique flavor is just the tip of the iceberg.
Get this: oak tree honey can support your digestive system. Raw honey is known as a prebiotic thanks to its ability to nourish the healthy bacteria in your gut. It promotes a healthy inflammation response and keeps things balanced.
Oak honey is also said to be a remedy for when you’ve eaten something off, occasional diarrhea, hemorrhoids, and wound healing. This is one of the best kinds of honey to eat if you want to keep your stomach strong and the microbiome in your gut healthy!
Raw Greek forest honey is acidic, which promotes the release of oxygen from your blood. Applying it to cuts and burns gets them to heal faster because the honey creates a more favorable environment for tissue repair. Applying it as a daily mask can tighten pores and make your skin appear more youthful.
Even enjoying Greek honey on your toast or in your tea can have a beautifying effect on your skin. It’s known as a powerful natural remedy for blemishes. Oak honey is especially effective for fighting invaders that can upset your skin’s natural bacterial balance.
The amino acids, vitamins and minerals in raw honey make it one of the easiest superfoods to ingest and one of the healthiest sugar alternatives on the planet.
While many people enjoy honey of all kinds, raw forest honey like this is actually one of the best superfoods you can eat for respiratory health. It can control inflammation that affects your airways, while also thinning mucus and clearing out the pathways to your lungs if you are feeling congested.
Raw honey contains healthy microbes that actually stimulate your immune system. Research has confirmed the presence of these probiotics in honey and demonstrated their power to the point where many experts view raw honey as a medicinal food.
You Can’t Go to the Balkan Forests and Collect the Honey Yourself!
Not gonna happen. That’s the bad news. Here’s the good news though…
As of Today, You Don’t Have to Bribe a Forest Authority to Bring You Oak Tree Honey from the Mountains of Greece in Order to Get a Jar of Your Own
Now you can order a jar of this amazing super-honey from the comfort of your own home and have it delivered to your doorstep.
We’ve done the hard work for you, and gone through the hoops that other honey suppliers are unwilling to.
Activation Products struck a deal with beekeepers from the Balkan mixed forests 1,640 feet up in the Pindos mountains, to acquire this one-of-a-kind honey for our customers. There is truly no other honey like it anywhere.
This is not your ordinary supermarket honey. Today you can order one of the purest forest honeys in the world, found in a region you’d probably never be able to visit yourself.
Picture a gorgeous green hillside, framed by mountains, where all you can see is lush green and natural beauty. That is where the apiary our honey comes from can be found.
The apiary we sourced this honey from was selected based on its organic quality — meaning its distance from civilization. As I’m sure you’ve already guessed, the supply of this honey isn’t unlimited.
We were only able to secure 1,200 bottles to be flown in from Greece, meaning that supply is especially limited. Once we sell out, we won’t be getting this specific type of honey again for at least another year.
The types of honey that come from these sacred mountain forests change with the seasons, which means that even if we wanted to secure more bottles we couldn’t because it’s already all gone.
Due to the difficulty of making this unique honey available in North America, the price tag could be over $100 per jar, and it would still sell like crazy.
Fortunately for you, we chose not to do that.
You can get it today for a much lower price.
Today it’s available to you for up to $18 off per jar (over 30% in savings). As a treat, we’re also throwing in an incredible ebook about the history and science behind this honey and other honeys harvested in the sacred Greek mountains.
You can also enjoy special bundle pricing when you buy more than one bottle. But this low price will only last until the end of this week.
Our invitation to you today is to order your own jar before we run out.
Every time we’ve sold honey from the mountains of northern Greece, we have sold out in under a week. We’re offering you the chance to pre-order a jar so you don’t have to risk missing out. But like we said, we've only received a limited number, so order soon! We will sell out very soon.
The fact that you’re seeing this means that we haven’t run out yet, so now’s your chance.
Pre-order your own jar of Panabee Oak Tree Honey right now before we are forced to take this page offline.
This is raw honey from the secluded mountains in northern Greece. It has more probiotics than pasteurized honey and has the most to offer to your health. Forest honeys are startlingly nutritious when compared to flower honeys, which are the most readily available.
Most honey is not raw. Most honey is pasteurized — the properties of honey that make it so good for you, are stripped away. Retailers don’t want a product on their shelves that looks less than perfect so they insist on pasteurized honey. The pasteurization process involves filtering the honey repeatedly, which removes any trace of the honeycomb that it came from, stripping away much of the valuable nutrients.
The honey is heated and reheated to destroy its ability to crystallize or harden; by the time the process is complete, what remains is basically just sugar.
When it comes down to it, the probiotic properties of honey are key to the health benefits that honey has to offer and the antioxidant content helps to support your immune system and protect your body from the effects of oxidative stress. These properties are very sensitive to heat and are often entirely destroyed by the pasteurization process. To make the most of honey’s benefits, it has to be raw, and ideally organic.
The beekeepers that we work with ensure just that. They do not use any unnecessary technologies in the making of their honey and heating is not even considered.
The honey we offer is harvested by hand, using a traditional tool called an inox fork, which is used to carefully pry away the wax seal and expose the honey. This obviously takes a lot more time — a machine could do it in 1/100th of the time it takes to do it by hand — but the extra effort ensures that the honey remains as close to untouched as possible.
Excessive filtering processes are not used with this honey, as they remove the honeydew that is naturally present, which is excellent for you and can enhance the flavor of the honey. A simple straining is all that is needed, and then the honey is given time to sit. After a while, the natural wax that remains in the honey rises to the top and can be scooped away.
Modern technology is only used in this honey-making process where it is absolutely necessary and only on the condition that it does not alter the final product. This means that you are getting the honey exactly as the bees created it, along with all of its natural vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, probiotics and other essential nutrients that it has to offer.
Our beekeepers aren’t just looking out for the end product, they are also looking out for their bees. On their own lands, they make sure to plant trees and flowers that are grown organically and will nourish the bees.
When they harvest the honey, they make sure to leave enough for the hive to live on, instead of replacing it with a low quality sugar syrup like many apiaries do. The bees are still able to enjoy their own food source, because the beekeepers are careful to calculate exactly how much is safe to take. Over the winter, an average hive needs to feed 20,000 bees plus the queen. Throughout the rest of the year, the numbers per hive are closer to 60,000. Knowing this, and keeping tabs on the life in their hives, beekeepers can harvest appropriately.
When it is necessary to move the hives in order to collect honey in different forests, the beekeepers exercise caution and are careful to ensure the safety of the bees. No chemicals are ever used on or around the bees, only natural products or solutions where appropriate.
Maintaining a low-interference apiary is not easy. Without the use of technology, everything takes more time and more effort. The yields may be lower and profit-margins smaller, but unsurpassed quality of the honey makes up for these downsides in spades.
