OUR HONEY FARM:
We are a two-person family business located in Lapinlahti, in the Upper Savo region. We have been operating for two generations, with Karin’s father, Erkki Lappi, starting beekeeping in 1976. He was awarded the prestigious title of "Beekeeper of the Year" in 2013.
Although our honey is delicious, pollination is still the most valuable product of the bees. The value of pollination is many times greater than the value of the honey crop. According to estimates, insects pollinate 80% of the world’s plant species, while the rest are wind- or self-pollinated. Beekeeping is an effective way to promote biodiversity. Our beehives are used for pollinating strawberries, boysenberries, and raspberries at berry farms in Lapinlahti. Additionally, our bees are used in controlling gray mold by spreading biological control agents on strawberry and raspberry flowers. The bees fly about 2 km from the hive, so there are a huge number of plants pollinated during the summer. Honey production and pollination together reduce greenhouse gases by 0.7 kg CO2eq/honey kg, according to research.
We currently have about 20 apiaries located within a 20 km radius of Lapinlahti.
All our apiaries meet organic regulations based on their locations.
