Halkidiki produces huge amounts of honey every year. The rich fauna of Kassandra and Sithonia constitute the best natural environment for the production of honey, preserving this long tradition which began thousands of years ago. The famous honey of Agia Paraskeui is one of the best in Greece. Halkidiki is considered to be "The mother of Beekeeping", as it has many beekeepers (32% of the national total) producing 1,910 tons of honey every year. You can find traditional honey in stores or buy it directly from a producer. Moreover, besides the ordinary honey from bees, you can also find pine honey, which stands out for its high nutrition value.
