Baltic Nectar: Expertly Harvested Honey Products with Two Decades of Experience
Over 19 years, the number of hives in our family hobby grew significantly, leading to the establishment of a bee farm with 10 apiaries.
We want to express our deepest gratitude to the smallest yet most vital members of our team – the bees! Despite their size, these tireless and extraordinary creatures are the true architects of everything we have today. We take great pride in supporting their well-being, providing them with new homes, and ensuring their preservation every step of the way.
Nineteen years ago, my dad, a school music teacher, installed his first three beehives near the surrounding forest. Inspired and prepared by knowledge passed down from his grandfather and uncle, he decided to take on beekeeping as a hobby. Mistakes were made, but he grew more knowledgeable and skilled with every setback.
As the years went by, my parents dedication paid off. The number of hives steadily increased, transforming our few hives into a bustling apiary. With around 70 hives, our family became more involved in bee farm, building hives and extracting honey straight after harvest. The sweet taste of our honey was a delight, and we soon shared it with friends and neighbours.
Despite the challenges, Dad and Mom balanced their teaching jobs with their passion for beekeeping. By the midterm, our hive count had risen to an impressive 110, and beekeeping became a central part of our family life. Being raised by musician parents in a house that felt like a museum of all kinds of musical instruments, I grew up surrounded by creativity and hard work. Alongside their love for music, my parents’ early efforts with just a few apiaries introduced me to beekeeping from a young age. Through these experiences, I’ve collected the most fascinating memories and developed a deep love for nature.
Today, our family farm has grown to an astounding 216 hives. What began as a simple hobby for my dad has turned into our main activity and a thriving business. Our honey is known for its purity and rich flavor, a testament to the careful craftsmanship and dedication that goes into every jar. Our farm is a legacy that blends tradition with innovation. It's a story of passion, hard work, and the sweet rewards that come from following your dreams.
Why our customers swear by Baltic Nectar honey:
♦ UNPROCESSED HONEY
Baltic Nectar raw honey is never heated (thermally processed), preserving more than 15 essential natural hydrolytic and redox enzymes (such as diastase, invertase, catalase, peroxidase, and maltase) and over 100 other chemical compounds (including alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, organic acids, esters, and essential amino acids). At Baltic Nectar, we are dedicated to delivering unprocessed honey that retains its full nutritional value and natural integrity.
♦ ALL HONEY IS MATURE
With two decades of farming experience, the Baltic Nectar team knows exactly when honey reaches its full maturity for harvest. If liquid drops fall after shaking a frame directly from the hive, it signals that the honey isn't ready yet. The bees still need to complete the breakdown of starch into oligosaccharides and dextrin's and the inversion of sucrose into monosaccharides. The honey must also reach the proper density, with moisture content reduced to a natural level—ensuring no drops fall. Only when these processes are complete is Baltic Nectar honey harvested, its quality confirmed by rigorous laboratory veterinary and sanitary examinations.
♦ NON-BLENDED HONEY
The ratio of nectar sources in Baltic Nectar honey is determined entirely by the natural instincts of our bees. Our honey is never an artificial blend of different types (it is not a cuvée). Baltic Nectar honey is never mixed with other honeys, altered in any way, or enhanced with additives. We are proud to offer Baltic Nectar honey in its purest form, just as nature intended. At Baltic Nectar, we value fairness and hard work, qualities that we believe are essential to producing an authentic and natural product.
Ethos at Bee Farming
At Baltic Nectar, we adhere to traditional beekeeping practices that prioritize the well-being and natural behavior of our bees. During the winter months, Baltic Nectar bees are sustained with their own provisions of honey, bee bread, and propolis. We never rely on artificial additives or supplements, ensuring that Baltic Nectar honey maintains its natural purity and exceptional quality. This unwavering commitment is at the heart of Baltic Nectar’s operation, allowing our bees to thrive in a healthy and natural environment, while delivering honey that truly reflects the essence of nature.
