In the village of Loix, in the north of the island, l'Abeille de Ré is a family-run honey factory created by Aldo François, himself the son of a beekeeper and passionate about his profession. As well as producing artisanal honey, he is committed to raising public awareness of his art and the cause of bees. Transmission is his vocation. The honey house's apiaries are located on the Ile de Ré and in Charente-Maritime, near Saint-Jean d'Angély.

A historic tradition on the Ile de Ré, salt farming sustained the territory from the Middle Ages until the end of the 19ᵉ century.
