Our region for some people is the centre of the earth, but for others, few actually, is the centre of a different kingdom. That of the bees and this is a very well kept secret. The bees very wisely chose our place because they find in a very short distance plenty land of thyme and plenty land of fir, the most known and nice flavours of honey.
