MOME Apiary
In 2025, two additional colonies were added to the MOME Apiary: The Mézengúz and Pempő families joined the Tóté and Mézga families. As before, the new hives were made in the university’s Wood Workshop, and once again, students were invited to name the colonies.
The four colonies produce nearly 200 kilograms of honey each year, along with propolis and beeswax, supporting a range of educational projects and creative activities. Community events linked to the honey harvest also give not only students and staff, but also local school and nursery groups a first-hand introduction to beekeeping.
Honey varieties
Forest flower honey
The 2024 vintage MOME honey is a true representation of the Buda terroir, with a high mineral content, produced from honeydew, linden, and the pollen of plants blooming in the meadows of Normafa. It is delicious on its own, pairs excellently with cheeses, and makes a great ingredient for salad dressings and meat sauces. Available in a 200-gram jar, this delicacy is the product of the first honey harvest in June.
Fruit Blossom Honey
This variety is made from nectar collected from spring-flowering fruit trees – cherry, sour cherry, apple, and pear – growing in the gardens of Buda. Compared to forest flower honey, it has a subtler, more delicate flavour, harmoniously blending fruity notes with a hint of almond. As of the May 2025 harvest, it’s now available in the MOME pantry in both 106 ml and 40 ml jars.
