Le Rucher du Montcalm

For over 30 years, Sylvie Humbert, nicknamed "Maya" by regulars, has been building this project, now taken over by her daughter Janice. An exceptional natural setting: The beehives are located in the Val-de-Sos and Auzat valleys, offering a pure, preserved ecosystem, free from pesticides and other phytosanitary products that could harm their balance. This ideal setting enables the bees to flourish and produce honey of exceptional quality. Variety of honeys: The Rucher du Montcalm offers six varieties of honey, ranging from the fruity sweetness of Rhododendron honey to the woody strength of Callune Heather honey. All honeys are 100% sourced from wild flowers in the Ariège mountains, at altitudes between 700 and 1800 meters. Awards and recognition: Mother Nature orchestrates the harvests and the different varieties of honey, offering unique taste palettes that have won numerous medals at competitions such as the Concours Agricole de Paris and regional competitions.
