What is Lavender?
Lavender (Lavandula vera). is a perennial plant which is used in the medicine, aromatherapy and it is use by the bees to make a very sweet honey. The upper part of the plant is strongly branched and forms a tuft up to 60 cm of high or more. The number of flowers on one tuft reaches more than 2000, that makes it very instagramable 😉. Lavender blooms usually in July and that extend the bee’s prime forage as well as the honey season in Bulgaria. Honey yields in areas where Lavender is more widespread increase significantly.
