Greece and Sicily are renowned for their Thyme Honey production, where it is locally known as Hymettus Honey or Hyblaean Honey (regional designations). However, 90% of the world's thyme essential oil crop originates from Spain. The Bee Folks carries Spanish Thyme Honey. Honey from thyme flowers is a light amber in color, with a pleasant herbal taste, and an aftertaste of cloves. The plant is used in cooking, and the essential oil is used as an antiseptic in mouthwashes and cosmetics. Thyme oil is collected through steam distillation of the stems and leaves. Honeybees are brought in to pollinate crops that are allowed to go to seed in order to maximize seed production and fertility. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
