Our bees' favorite plant species on Mount Erek



There are tens of thousands of flowers of different species on our mountain, Erek, where our bees roam. On our mountain, which also contains endemic plant species that are not found anywhere else in the world, our bees meticulously store all kinds of flowers in hexagonal honeycombs by wandering all summer long, with thousands of different types of flowers blooming. All that remains is to deliver our healing repository of Erek Mountain honey to you.


Of course, listing all of the tens of thousands of flowering plant species in our Erek mountain, where our bees live, would take up an entire page, but it would be useful to see the dominant species in our mountain:
