Les Ruches de Camille

Forty hives between the Monts d’Or and the Saône. Acacia in spring, lime in June, forest honey in autumn, and the wax that becomes our candles.

Chloé started with two hives on her parents’ roof and now looks after forty, moving them with the blossom. The honey is extracted cold, never heated or blended, so it keeps its flavour and may set in the jar.

Nothing in the hive is wasted: the wax is poured into candles, and the flowers that Chloé grows for the bees are dried and tied into bunches. Come to the stall in June to taste the lime-tree honey.
