Tourismusverein Ritten - Tiberio SorvilloDid you know that in honey are more than 200 different ingredients and those are changing even from kind to kind. Our hard-working bees pollinate 85 % arable crops and 20,000 different wild plants. That way mixed blossom honey, alpine rose-, dandelion-, and honeydew honey are produced.
Also, we use honey as food: as sweet spread for the breakfast bread, to sweeten our tea or for gourmets to eat it with different cheeses. But even in natural healing honey has become very important. Today, honey is appreciated for its curing and anti-inflammatory effect.
