Habib Honey is the business of Maurice Habib, a Metn beekeeper with more than three decades of experience. When Lebanon Traveler profiled him in 2021, he was keeping about 450 hives, one of the larger operations in that feature. The size of the apiary lets him offer an unusually wide spread of honeys: orange blossom, oak, wildflower and thistle, thyme, juniper, lavender, cedar and eucalyptus. Many small producers sell one or two kinds, so this is a good address for anyone who wants to compare flavours side by side. Habib sells from his own shop in Jdeideh el Metn, roughly 100 metres from the Palais de Justice, and he also has a Facebook page under the name HABIB HONEY. Call or visit before making a trip, since stock depends on the season.
