Shirakami-Sanchi is a World Heritage Site in Akita Prefecture where untouched nature remains.

SUGI BEE GARDEN Farm owns a bee farm near the Shirakami Mountains.

The bees are busy every day collecting nectar from the flowers blooming nearby.

At SUGI BEE GARDEN, we practice a practice called "migratory beekeeping," in which bees migrate from Kumamoto to Akita to Hokkaido as seasonal flowers bloom.

We have adopted this method out of our strong desire to provide our customers with delicious, seasonal honey every year.

The honey currently being harvested in Akita Prefecture is from horse chestnut flowers.

The Japanese horse chestnut is also known as "horse chestnut," and has lovely cream-colored flowers clustered together like a Christmas tree.

The honey has a rich, gentle sweetness and a gorgeous aroma.

The beekeeping club members and their bees left Kumamoto in mid-May and arrived here.

Thanks to the bees flying around energetically, we were able to start harvesting honey about a week after our arrival.

The acacia flowers, which were still in bud when we arrived in Akita, are now blooming nicely, and honey harvesting will finally begin tomorrow.

"Acacia honey" is probably a type of honey that you have heard of often, right?

Acacia honey is also known as the "Queen of Honey" and is a popular type of honey that is mild and easy to eat.

Currently, honey harvesting is in full swing at SUGI BEE GARDEN.

We plan to post information on our blog and social media about how honey is harvested and where it is harvested, so we hope you will take a look.
