Tropoja is distinguished for the good quality of honey and for its healing properties. Harvesting honey and selling it is a way that people use to increase their income. Honey extraction goes through several stages. First the bee hives are checked and if about 75% of the frames are waxed then the frames are ready to get the honey extracted. The beekeeper at a suitable time and with the appropriate working tools, removes the frames and places them in a special closed hive to transport them to the workplace where we harvest the honey from. Beekeepers harvest it by collecting the honeycomb frames and scraping off the wax cap that bees make to seal off honey in each cell. Once the caps are removed, the frames are placed in an extractor, a centrifuge that spins the frames, forcing honey out of the comb.(You must make sure there is no water that can get in contact with the honey .)
To Home
After the honey is extracted, it’s strained to remove any remaining wax and other particles. Some beekeepers and bottlers might heat the honey to make this process easier, but that doesn’t alter the liquid’s natural composition it means that they warm the place where they work but don’t over heat it .
After straining, it’s time to bottle and bring it to you. It doesn’t matter if the container is glass or plastic, or if the honey is purchased at the grocery store or farmers’ market. If the ingredient label says “pure honey,” nothing was added from bee to hive to bottle it’s all pure and that’s all about Tropoja’s honey .
