Jars of Rauma Honning Norwegian honey on display at a local market in Åndalsnes, Norway

Rauma Honning – local honey from Åndalsnes

Norwegian honey from our own hives in the Rauma valley — between fjord, mountain and Norwegian nature.

About Rauma Honning

Rauma Honning is professional beekeeping based in Åndalsnes, Norway. Our apiaries are located in Åndalsnes, Isfjorden, Trollstigen, Rødven, Eidsbygda and Verma — within Rauma municipality, Møre og Romsdal — where the bees forage on everything from flowering farmland and summer vegetation to heather moorland near the coast. So honey from Rauma Honning reflects both the place and the season it comes from.

Weather, blossom and foraging conditions vary from year to year, and so do the honey's taste, colour and texture. We harvest from our own hives and handle it gently before jarring in 250 g and 500 g jars, with no additives and no blending with imported honey.

Limited quantity: applies to every variety – please ask what is in stock when you order.

Beekeeping built on experience

Rauma Honning draws on many years of hands-on experience with bees, queens and building strong colonies. We work mainly with Carnica bees, focusing on calm, hard-working colonies, good overwintering and healthy brood suited to local conditions in Rauma.

We follow the colonies through the whole season, continuously refining our methods, selection and use of modern tools to better understand what's happening in the apiaries. Beekeeping also helps pollinate wild plants and crops alike, and is a natural part of the cultivated landscape in Rauma.

Our honey types

500 g jar of Rauma Honning raspberry and fireweed honey (Bringebær Geitrams), limited edition, from Isfjorden, Rødven, Eidsbygda and Verma in Rauma, Norway

Raspberry & fireweed honey

Our first harvest of this honey in twelve years of beekeeping. In summer 2026 the bees foraged wild raspberry and fireweed around our apiaries in Isfjorden, Rødven, Eidsbygda and Verma. It has a light, pleasant tartness with a hint of lemon, rounded off by the soft sweetness typical of raspberry honey. Limited quantity.

A souvenir from Rauma — not another troll figurine

Most gift shops along the Trollstigen road and at the top of Trollstigen itself sell more or less the same things: troll magnets, plastic viking helmets, and t-shirts printed somewhere far from Norway. Honey from our own hives in Rauma is different — it's made here, by bees that foraged the hillsides around Åndalsnes and Isfjorden the same summer you visited.

The 250 g jar is built for a suitcase: small, light, and easy to carry as hand luggage (solid honey isn't covered by the liquids rule, but check your airline's own policy to be sure). The 500 g jar suits road trips and motorhomes, where space isn't as tight.

If you're heading to another country after Norway, check that country's rules on importing honey before you travel. Most EU/EEA countries have no restrictions for personal use, but rules can differ outside Europe.
