Melissokomiki Dodecanese was founded towards the end of last century in Rhodes, by Nikos Melissourgos and Nikos Retsas.

Our inspiration was bee’s products, which have been a treasure for human nutrition since the beginning of their history. The motivation for the investment was the high quality of honey and the great ancient tradition in the apiaries on our islands. Our company developed a honey laboratory and applied certified quality systems in the packaging of the different varieties of honey of the Dodecanese. At the same time, we built a separate production unit for Melekouni, the traditional treat of Rhodes. In 2007, a new production line was developed for the Melekouni and the new Honey bars. Gradually, our products got a prominent place on grocery store shelves and in the hearts of consumers. Finally, on the site of our company, the Greece’s unique BEE MUSEUM is co-located.
