Oh honey, honey.

I've been developing my passion for this nectar of the gods in such a supportive environment. I was first introduced to the idea of real, delicious, special honey in southern France, where the lavender honey reigns supreme. Their thick, opaque, spreadable honey is also delicious.

Romania's honey has proven to be similarly fantastic. Train rides throughout Romania reveal beehives on mountain slopes, and large, colorful honey-wagons parked in gardens. Bee keeping has a long history in Moldavia; it is close to shepherding in its ancientness with the Romanian people.  Historic Moldavia, pre- and post- statehood had exports consisting mainly of livestock and honey. 

Once monasteries were established, the harvesting of the land, animal husbandry, and beekeeping were tasks that fell to monks living there. Stefan cel Mare funded his military campaigns based on the rich revenues of Moldavian exports, including honey.

There's a rainbow of shades of honey available in the markets- the palest yellow shades, rich golden shades, and deep brown to amber shades. 

On a last note, no matter where you buy your honey, always, always buy local/know where your honey comes from. Don't buy Chinese honey!! In an attempt to make even the nectar of the gods cheap and low quality, mass beekeepers there feed their bees only sugar water, so essentially what you're spreading on your morning toast is refined sugar. Get local honey- poliflora, forest, fruit tree, anything.
