Urban honey is becoming increasingly popular and is a fascinating alternative to traditional country honey. You may be wondering if this honey is contaminated due to the urban environment. Surprisingly, urban honey is often less contaminated than country honey. Studies have shown that pesticides and heavy metals such as cadmium are barely detectable in urban honey. Lead and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are also present in very small amounts, which are also found in country honey. Because fewer pesticides are used in urban areas, urban honeys are often of higher quality. This also contributes to the health of urban bees, who are less exposed to pesticides.
Another advantage of urban honey is its diversity. The urban environment offers bees a wider range of flowers that are available over longer periods of time. Typical city trees such as linden trees, acacias, locust trees and chestnuts, as well as many colorful flowers in parks and on balconies, give urban honey a unique flavor. This variety of flower sources is reflected in the rich flavor palette of urban honey, which is rarely found in this form in the countryside.
Our partner beekeepers in Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne and Munich extract the honey gently and without heating it above 40 °C. This means that all of the valuable ingredients are preserved and the honey retains its natural taste. Urban honey is therefore not only sustainable and healthy, but also an unadulterated natural product.
City bees often find better living conditions in urban areas than in rural areas. They live in parks, on roofs and even in cemeteries - places that are rich in flowers and offer the bees a continuous supply of food. This diversity of locations contributes to the health of the bees and makes urban honey particularly valuable.
