Kachreti: Beekeeping

Kachreti, Georgia

A group of us TLG volunteers spent Saturday at the Kachreti vocational college, which teaches students about traditional agricultural crafts.

Yesterday, I talked about making churchkhela. Today is a pictorial about beekeeping at the college.

My hostess, Nely, told me the honey in the Georgian regions have their own distinctive flavors. In one area, the bees tend to feast on the citrus orchards. In another area, the bees go to the fields. And in the area Nely believes produces the best honey, the bees go to the forests and harvest the nectar of chestnut blossoms.
