A regional meeting of beekeepers, honey-infused delicacies, honey and apiculture products on sale are only some of the programmes that will be accompanied by live music productions in Kossuth Square, right in the heart of Kaposvár.
There is honey tasting available with well-known and lesser known flavours including acacia, rape, linden, sunflower, chestnut and mixed flower honey – you are welcome to compare flavours which is a great opportunity as honey is produced naturally, so its flavour and colour differ every year. It mostly depends on the weather and of course on the plant but same kind of flower from a distant region can make a difference to the flavour as well.
