Aiming to acquaint the people of the city with the enigmatic and perfectly organized society of bees, the acquaintance with all the beekeeping plants of Greek nature, the awareness of the importance of biodiversity and the importance of bees for the ecosystem of the planet, we created the Bee Garden in an area of 4000 sq.m.
Who We Are
We are beekeepers many generations back in time
Our family business was officially founded in 1990 and took its name from the Abbates regions of the Greek countryside which we visit to collect honey.
Given the knowledge that nomadic beekeeping presents significant advantages we decided to follow nature.
The bees are transported from area to area where the beekeeping plants are in bloom.
Useful Statistics
Why choose us
Because we carry a long tradition in the production of Greek beekeeping products
Because the royal jelly is collected in the presence of the consumer (as well as the honey if he/she wishes)
Why the Bee garden is the largest beekeeping farm in Greece that can be visited and the only one in which all the dominant beekeeping plants of the Greek countryside coexist
Why we were the first to be certified in organic beekeeping (2002) when the 2ndmost was certified 5 years later. Organic beekeeping requires highly specialised knowledge and high labour costs
Because we produce our products with special care and attention and we are proud of their quality. Our products were awarded a gold star at the largest and most popular honey tasting exhibition London Honey Awards.
Bee Garden
In a privately owned area of 4,000 square meters 12 kilometers outside Thessaloniki, we started 5 years ago to plant bee plants that we transfer from the Greek countryside and even from areas where they thrive and are efficient for beekeeping.
