Greek people characterise Halkidiki as "The mother of Beekeeping". With more than 6500 beekeepers (32% of national total) and 1910 tons of high quality honey production annually, Halkidiki is fairly characterised as the centre of beekeeping in Greece. Continuing the tradition todays beekeepers exploit the rich fauna of Kassandra, Sithonia and North Halkidiki producing great quantities of honey. Except the ordinary honey from bees you can also find pine honey with a high nutrition value.
