Beehives, a family heritage

The aim remains unchanged: to produce raw honey, “straight from the hives”, without excessive processing, to preserve the flavours and aromas of Greek flowers and herbs.

Quality, transparency and naturalness at the heart of the project
Asterios Bio’s positioning is based on key words: raw, natural, local. Their website emphasizes that honey is harvested “directly from the hives”, guaranteeing the preservation of original aromas and benefits.
Production in small batches, attention to botanical and geographical origin, and the diversity of harvests give each jar a unique signature, a distinctive advantage over standardized honeys.
A modern, connected and committed producer
Asterios Bio doesn’t just produce, it also communicates, explains and informs. The blog covers topics such as “How to bring crystallized honey back to life” and “Thyme honey: a remedy from the Aegean”.
This pedagogy shows a willingness to open up and share know-how. This places the brand in an approach that is both artisanal and transparent, a coherent profile for markets that are demanding or sensitive to product origin.
FAQ : Frequently asked questions about honey and hive products
What's the difference between raw and pasteurized honey?
Raw honey is harvested directly from the hive and jarred without excessive heating, so it retains its natural aromas, enzymes and characteristics. Pasteurized honey often loses these subtleties after heating.
Why does honey change texture and become solid?
This is the natural process of crystallizing the sugar contained in honey. It does not alter the taste or quality of the honey: a simple warm bain-marie is all that’s needed to “revive” it.
Is Greek honey richer than "classic" honey?
The botanical diversity and climate of the Mediterranean often result in a great aromatic richness and varied profiles (pine honey, thyme honey, chestnut honey, etc.), with aromatic compounds characteristic of the terroir.
Are pollen or royal jelly part of the benefits of honey?
Yes. Pollen, royal jelly and even wax or propolis are hive products used for their nutritional, antioxidant or well-being qualities, often as a complement to honey.
How to choose a good artisanal honey?
Find out where it comes from, check whether it is declared “raw” or “unpasteurized”, make sure it has not been excessively filtered, and favor producers who are transparent about the harvest.
