There are currently between 18,000 and 20,000 beehives on the islands and they produce around 220 tons of honey, which is sold, in its totality, on the local market. The Canarian honeys are a singular and specific product thanks to the particularities of the flora of the archipelago which boasts of many endemic species. This gives the honey unique flavours impossible to find anywhere else in the world.
