Regions : Nebbiu - Capi Corsu

Categories : Honey

Agricultural sectors : Corsican honey

Marlène Hahusseau discovered beekeeping in 2011, as part of the “Terra è Natura” environmental association.“When I arrived in Corsica twelve years ago, running workshops for children about honey helped me to develop a lot. However, I quickly realised that I wanted to have contact with the bees”, recounted Marlène.

In 2014, after a course at Borgo Agricultural Training School, in addition to work experience with professional beekeepers, the young farmer started work on breeding queens.She now has 150 beehives spread across all of Cap-Corse, from Sisco to Rogliano.

 "This microregion really is an ideal area for bees, thanks to the large amount of water here”, she explained, “I want to make the most of the wide variety of tastes that this environment provides”.
In addition, she wants to boost direct sales of the honey and the ways that they can be processed.

The Miel du Cap (Cap Honey) range now offers “caramiel” (a mix of honey and caramel), “croque-noisettes” (oven-baked hazelnuts coated with egg white and icing sugar), lipstick and mother tincture, enriched with propolis.

Marlène has ambitious future projects, with a dedicated “apiary” department by 2020 in a communal building shared by a number of farmers from the region.
