Rooted in the Nature of Småland
Skogens Honung is run by Lars Johansson, a dedicated beekeeper based in the Hjorted–Tuna area of Småland. Here, bees work in peaceful forest surroundings, far from large-scale agriculture and intensive cultivation. The result is pure, naturally flavourful honey where each jar mirrors the region’s flora, seasons, and weather.
The taste and colour of the honey shift with the flowers the bees visit. It is the knowledge, experience, and work in harmony with nature that make Skogens Honung truly unique. This craftsmanship and authenticity have earned appreciation from private customers, food enthusiasts, and local producers alike. Multiple medals in international honey competitions further confirm its exceptional quality.
Small-Batch Craftsmanship from Blossom to Jar
The work behind Skogens Honung is characterised by care, long-term commitment, and a close, family-driven approach. Lars follows the bees’ natural rhythm and allows the season to guide every step in the hives.
Each jar is filled by hand in the small farm building where traditional know-how is combined with modern hygiene and quality control. This ensures freshness, purity, and authentic flavour in every batch.
Sustainable Beekeeping that Supports the Future
Beekeeping is about more than honey. It is essential for biodiversity, healthy ecosystems, and pollination of flowers, berries, and fruit throughout the area. Skogens Honung works with methods that protect both bees and nature:
• gentle harvesting, always leaving enough food for the bees
• use of natural materials in the hives
• minimal impact on surrounding ecosystems
• continuous care and monitoring to maintain strong, healthy colonies
This long-term approach strengthens the environment and offers customers a product they can feel proud to choose.
Rich and Varied Flavours – A Taste of Place
Skogens Honung offers wide flavour variation, with each jar carrying aromas from the flowers blooming at that specific moment. The taste can range from light and floral to rich and aromatic depending on the season’s blossoms, such as:
• raspberry and blueberry from the forest edges
• dandelion and clover from meadows
• ling heather in late summer
Every jar tells its own story about the place, time, and blossoms the bees worked with.
Local Collaboration and Genuine Pride
Skogens Honung is part of a growing movement of small-scale producers prioritising quality, transparency, and sustainability. Through collaborations with local businesses, markets, and shops, knowledge about beekeeping and its ecological value is shared, highlighting the importance of genuine food from rural landscapes.
This local engagement adds meaningful value for customers. It simply feels better to choose a product that carries a story, a place, and the passion of the person who crafted it.
