About the site’s name
First of all, a few words about the site’s name. By Lithuanian word blindė is called one of spices of willows – goat willow (Salix caprea). This tree is famous in our latitudes as it is first nectariferous plant blooming in spring, so it symbolizes revival of nature and beginning of new beekeeping season. You may have noticed that the stylized willow flowers are also in our logo.
Our apiary
Our apiary is located in the scenic surroundings of Aukštadvaris Regional Park. Wild nature, natural meadows, forests, abandoned farmer’s houses with centuries-old lindens, maples and oak trees allows the bees collect natural honey, almost the same as they carried 70 million years before the emergence of human.
Our spring honey is a bright and gentle collected from goat willows, maple, gardens. Later, at the beginning of summer, a delicate raspberry and a richly aromatic linden honey appear, both famous for their medicinal properties. In the middle of the summer, the hills of Aukštadvaris Park covers by a wide variety of flowers and herbs. The honey from these plants would appreciate the lovers of rich, bright scents and flavors. In autumn we often get dew honey, which is very dark, sometimes half a year or even more stays liquid. It is rich in micronutrients, minerals, and is highly valued in worldwide.
In the description, we mentioned only a few of the most important plants, but in reality besides dominant plant in honey there will always be nectar from hundreds of other varieties.
