Honey and its derivatives headline Llubi's Honey Fair | J. MOREY
Llubi is a village more associated with its capers, but its beekeeping and so honey making have been a strong part of the village's economy since around the fifteenth century; there is evidence of exports of honey having been made to France.
So there is a long tradition and one to have inspired the honey fair since the turn of the century. In Llubi, there is a museum of apiculture, i.e. beekeeping, and which is a collection of hives and what have you that are of Mallorcan origin and from further afield.
Such is Llubi's status when it comes to honey that the fair will have an extension. On December 1 and 2, the village will host the Balearic Islands Honey Competition.
Last year in Minorca, this competition attracted 80 beekeepers, each one presenting two honeys in three different categories. With or without a competition, Llubi is the place for honey at its finest.
