What about the tree that the honey comes from? This Eucalyptus honey comes from some hives that Antonio has at De Coimbra Portugal. The eucalyptus tree is an evergreen, also known as eucalipto in Spanish. It is one of the fastest growing trees in the world.  Eucalyptus originates in Australia but has been introduced to Europe.

How do people use eucalyptus honey? Eucalyptus honey is often used in skin care. It has a fresh clean aroma and its soothing composition helps aid skin recovery from blemishes, acne and spots.

One time when I visited him we were joined by some beekeepers from Venezuela eager to learn from him. Now he is largely retired from day to day activities but still has some involvement.
