Cluster honey (Fürtös méz) Abaliget

The Cluster honey (Fürtös méz) brand and company was founded by Nikolett Hierholcz with her sister Andrea Szűcs in the early 2010s. Andrea took care of the bees, and Niki was responsible for sales, marketing, and quality control. Starting a beekeeping career and business was not easy for the two young women. They started with fifty-five bee colonies and at the beginning encountered several problems with the bees. They had no help, in fact. The two female beekeepers met more counter-druckers. However, they have learned from their mistakes over time.
