1958
Back in 1958, a group of French beekeepers began reflecting on their industry and craft, despite their very different situations. They realised that unity is strength and that forming a collective could bring them significant human and economic benefits. Above all, they shared a common passion for bees. Inspired by the organization and teamwork of these incredible insects, they decided to adopt the exact same approach.
This led to the creation of the “France Miel” cooperative, which was renamed “Les Compagnons du Miel” in 2015.
« What I liked was the idea of not being alone and having easy contact with other beekeepers. I also appreciate knowing where and how my honey is sold, knowing that I can find it in jars across the country while being confident it remains a high-quality product. »
Isabelle, Les Compagnons du Miel beekeeper in the Meuse region.
« Joining the cooperative in 2021 felt like a natural choice. It’s a way of working that suits us perfectly, and it gives us great satisfaction to see our honeys valued through Les Compagnons du Miel. It allows us to spend much more time caring for our bees. »
Mathilde & Patrice, Les Compagnons du Miel beekeepers in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region.
