Honey harvest at the MOME: the two bee colonies produced 40 kg of forest flower honey!

Date: 2024.05.23

At the MOME Campus, we recently had a honey harvest! Two bee families named Méz-ga and Tóték settled on the campus and diligently produced already 40 kg of forest flower honey over a month. With the help of certified beekeeper Tamás Kutasi, the university community extracted the 'MOME-honey' and collected beeswax and propolis during the first honey harvest.

During the beehive viewing event, the university community had the opportunity to witness the honey collection up close and even participate under the supervision of MOME's official beekeeper.

We have brought these bee colonies for ecological and educational purposes, with the expectation that they will produce nearly 100 kg of honey each year. We plan to organize workshops for honey extraction five times a year. During these workshops, we will collect honey together with our students.

As a result of spinning the honey, we will soon surprise our students and colleagues with homemade honey. Our students will also use the beeswax for their work.

By accommodating these pollinators, the MOME community actively contributes to a healthier world and helps the natural environment.
