Honey Wild Small Bee 700g

Small Bee's Wild Forest Honey from Kangra, Himachal Pradesh

Rare Himalayan Honey | Tribal-Harvested

🍯 Kangra Forest Honey - harvested in extremely small quantities from wild hives of Apis cerana indica (Indian native honeybee). Extracted by a local tribal harvester from natural hives found in homes, abandoned tree trunks, and forest crevices, this is not beekeeper-managed honey but naturally occurring forest honey - raw, unstandardized, and seasonal by nature.

What Makes This Honey Exceptional?

🌲 From the lower Himalayan foothills of Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, this honey reflects the region’s dense mixed forests, rich undergrowth, and diverse flowering flora. Unlike commercial apiary honey, these bees are not reared, fed, or relocated - their hives form naturally in secluded tree hollows, mud homes, or forest edges.

👨‍🌾 Harvested manually by an experienced tribal forager, only surplus honey is taken, ensuring the hive survives and regenerates. Annual yield is limited to just 40-50 kg, making this honey exceptionally rare and prized.

🌸 Floral sources include wild Himalayan blossoms, forest herbs, native shrubs, and seasonal flowers - many unavailable in cultivated landscapes. This creates a honey with:

• 🌟 Deep amber color
• 🌟 Complex aroma
• 🌟 Layered taste - less overtly sweet, slightly woody, mildly herbal

❌ No heating. ❌ No blending. ❌ No filtering.
✅ Natural crystallization, color variation, and taste differences between batches are inherent qualities of this raw honey.

Fun / Interesting Fact:

🌸 Nearly all honey consumed in the Himalayan belt before modern apiaries came from Apis cerana indica, harvested from homes and forests. This tradition is rapidly disappearing - making each jar a living remnant of India’s indigenous food heritage.
