Let beekeepers guide you through the varieties and properties of this nectar. <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The French Riviera is a land of warmth and sunshine, and with diverse and wild flora, it is only natural that our bee friends have settled there.<br \/>Through the fields and scrubland, beekeepers collect a lot of honey.<\/p>\n<p>The best known is lavender honey, which is clear and has a savory taste. Present throughout Provence and the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur, it is harvested from late June to early August.<br \/>Heather honey, very typical and creamy, is collected in the high mountains and is nicknamed magic honey for its therapeutic virtues.<br \/>Rosemary honey is harvested less in the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur, is clear and thin, and is very often recommended for children and stressed people for its stimulating properties.<br \/>It is in spring that thyme flowers bloom, especially in the scrubland and on very sunny soils. Its honey is dark and has a strong odor.<br \/>The arbutus nestles atop Mediterranean scrub. Bees appreciate it, but since its production is low, honey is therefore rare, much to the chagrin of connoisseurs who appreciate its pronounced taste.<br \/>The calluna grows below the scrub, but it cannot stand the heat. In the rare years when it survives, bees rush there to produce a highly sought-after honey.<br \/>La-Colle-sur-Loup is a must to discover the history of honey. Here passionate beekeepers, who have created their own brands of honey, will be happy to introduce you to the fascinating world of bees. After this visit, honey and the various products of the hive will have no more secrets for you. Wild corners of paradise in the hinterland of Nice, such as Col de Vence, Escragnolles, and Gr\u00e8s d&#8217;Annot, are preferred for honey production. These are sites of remarkable biodiversity that make it possible to obtain exceptional local honey.        <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button _builder_version=&#8221;3.29.3&#8243; button_text=&#8221;Request information&#8221; button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/itourcostaazzurra.it\/en\/contacts\/&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur Tours takes you to discover the best honey on the French Riviera.
