Ethos at Bee Farming
At Baltic Nectar, we adhere to traditional beekeeping practices that prioritize the well-being and natural behaviour of our bees. During the winter months, Baltic Nectar bees are sustained with their 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.

Why our customers swear by Baltic Nectar 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.
-
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 dextrins 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.
-
The ratio of nectar sources in Baltic Nectar honey is determined entirely by the 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 honey, 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.
