Suchen Sie den leckersten Honig? / Are you looking for the best honey?

— "Engls Honig" vom Arlberg! —

About 30 bee populations (of which 3 are young populations) at the Arlberg in Tyrol (Austria) produce the delicious "Engls Honig" which means "Angel's Honey" in German. It tastes heavenly, is super healthy, has a golden award and a history. Please let us tell you more:

Nowadays, beekeepers Anita and Toni support the bees, but in earlier days it was Toni's father Engelbert (Engl in short). Anita and Toni took over the traditional Tyrolean hut with hives, renovated/ modernized/ refreshed everything and started this fascinating hobby with more modern working methods.

Bee keeping means entering into a whole new world! Pretty impressive. By opening a bee hive you truly look into a reality of its own. It is also great to see the environment with different (bee) eyes. The weather, the seasons, the blossoms. Bee keeping is quite a thing: a lot of work, a lot of challenges, a lot of fun, a lot to learn and, if all goes well, as a bonus: honey. "Golden liquid".

Well, to be honest, most of the work is actually done by the "Carnica honey bees"! In order to collect 1 kilo honey, bees can fly about 3 times around the world (up to 120,000 kilometres). This means that a bee flies more than 2,000 kilometres for 1 honey bread (assuming you spread about 20 gram honey on a sandwich).
