Philomelia Story

Everything started as a game, when I was just 16 years old (2011). I was
amazed by the bee world. Creating a bee colony and monitoring how this world
grows and survives, was something truly spectacular. Without a beekeeping
history running in our family, I had to learn the old-fashioned way. This meant
helping former, experienced beekeepers. In this way, I was able to closely
observe the process of integrated production and I was once more fascinated by
the process of beekeeping. I was also able to realize how to create a product
from scratch, and, even more, the way I can achieve this, in collaboration with
nature!

  Later on, in my 20s, I decided
that this should be my main occupation. In order to achieve this, I attended a
series of courses and seminars on beekeeping, offered by the Beekeeping
Laboratory of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, along with my studies in
Agricultural Technology.

 
After 9 years of commitment and having the necessary expertise in the
field, our team manages to produce honey in sufficient quantity and always
driven by excellent quality. Our need for evolution and our external thoughts
resulted in the creation of a new brand, which goes by the name of “Philomelia”.
A brand that from the very first moment was welcomed and embraced by the local
community and was also distinguished in an international, acknowledged, tasting
competition conducted in England (Great Taste Awards). At the same time, we are
currently constructing our new honey packing plant, which will complete our
journey of production. From day one till today, everything has fitted together
perfectly. In slow, but steady steps we walk our way into our dreams and look
towards the future with great optimism.
