Our Philosophy

The Ballot-Flurin honey-farm was born in the heart of the Pyrenees, in south-western France, set in beautiful countryside that is full of life and proud of its traditions, a place where bees can be happy.

RESPECT FOR THE BEES

How can we claim fitness and well-being if we buy a product that helps exploit bees, pollute our environment and create unemployment? In order to maintain our health and feel profoundly beautiful and balanced, it is necessary to collaborate with the bees, our environment and human society in general. The bees nourish, but they also heal and beautify. Our health foods and beauty preparations have already convinced and satisfied thousands of passionate users. Our products are unique, they are natural, organically certified and certified Cosmebio, moreover, they are free from any synthetic elements (pesticides, preservatives). And there is much more to say ...

RESPECT OF APIARIAN MATERIALS

The effectiveness of our preparations originates from three generations of experience in gentle medicine, and from the love that we carry to our bees. We have devoted our lives to learning the language of bees to better collaborate with the hive: we take care of it, and in return, we receive as an offering treasures of the beehive of exceptional quality as they are obtained in the respect: honey, royal jelly, propolis, pollen ... Raw materials are produced and processed on site with beekeepers in our active countryside. These precious energised ingredients are delivered intact to you thanks to artisanal methods of manufacturing based on manual, low-tech, and nonpolluting processes.

The Ballot-Flurin story began in 1976 when a young student who was fascinated by bees, decided to become a beekeeper... Catherine became to bees what horse-whisperers are to their mounts...

Dynamising life forces

The ancients were well aware that nature is possessed by subtle forces that cannot be detected by our five senses but which are crucial to our health and well-being. All our bee products and honeys contain these precious, mysterious forces.
