Raw Chestnut Honey from the Mountains of Artvin.
Bold, complex, and naturally rich. Crafted in limited batches from Turkey's pristine chestnut forests.
From a valley the world forgot.
In the northeastern corner of Türkiye, where the Black Sea climbs into the Caucasus, lies Borçka — a district of Artvin defined by mist, granite, and centuries-old chestnut trees.
For generations, our beekeepers have walked these slopes carrying nothing but wooden hives and patience. Each summer, when the chestnut blossoms open for a few short weeks, the bees do their quiet work.
We never heat. We never blend. We bottle only what the season gives.

Questions, considered.
What makes chestnut honey different?+
Chestnut honey is dark, robust, and decidedly less sweet than common floral honeys. It is rich in tannins, with malty, faintly bitter notes and a long, woody finish — closer to an aged spirit than a dessert.
Is Panra Bee raw honey?+
Yes. We never heat or pasteurize. We pass it once through a coarse sieve to remove wax and bottle it directly. All natural enzymes, pollen, and aromatics remain intact.
Where is the honey harvested?+
From the chestnut forests of Borçka, in the Artvin province of northeastern Türkiye — a remote valley between the Black Sea and the Caucasus mountains.
How should I store the honey?+
At room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is unnecessary and may accelerate crystallization.
Does honey crystallize naturally?+
Yes — crystallization is a sign of pure, unprocessed honey. Chestnut honey crystallizes slowly. To return it to liquid, place the jar in warm (not hot) water.
