At the time of flowering, in the lavender fields of Provence that perfume the air, the foragers are all hard at work to collect this nectar from the flowers and bring it back to the hives installed nearby. It is true that each lavender spike contains nearly 120 flowers, that the Valensole plateau is covered with them and that the flowering period is quite short. The foragers are assisted by the ventilating workers who have to keep the hive at a constant temperature and manage the humidity level. There is no shortage of work for bees to transform this nectar into an emblematic honey of a quality sought after by amateurs. There is a slight smell of typical lavender in lavender honey from the Valensole plateau. A clear, golden honey that can turn white over time without altering its subtle taste. Its creamy texture, its light hue and its delicately fruity taste make it an exceptional honey.
