There’s no other honey like this. Raw, medicinal honey from stingless Trigona bees is the only trigona honey proven to be 2X more potent than a UMF 26+ Manuka honey, and contains only 17% sugar. It is unheated, unfiltered, and naturally high in pollen and propolis, and is rich with a range of beneficial phenolic compounds, probiotics, a low-GI sugar trehalulose and amino acids.

The bees are so tiny they’re able to get into more flowers than regular honey bees. Harvested from fruit farms in the Philippines, the variety of crops pollinated gives our delicious honey its unique citrussy-sweet flavour rather than floral. Discover flavour notes such as mango, pineapple, tamarind, calamansi, coconut and lychee.

Lab tested at twice the potency of a UMF 26+ Manuka honey
Around 17% sugar, well below most table honey
Naturally contains propolis, pollen and amino acids
Awarded UK's Great Taste Award winner
No pesticides, preservatives or additives

Families who want honey that does more than sweeten and a stronger immunity. Anyone cutting sugar who still wants something sweet on their toast or in their salad. Suitable from age one.

Ingredients: Raw Trigona biroi honey. Nothing else. Contains pollen.

Net weight 650g. Stingless bees produce a fraction of what European honeybees do, roughly 500g per hive per year against about 30kg. That scarcity is the reason you have not heard of this honey, and the reason it costs what it does. Awarded UK's Great Taste Award. Free from pesticides, preservatives, additives, or any adulteration.

More on where it comes from in What is Stingless Bee Honey?

Take a teablespoon on alternate days. Double it when you feel under the weathersomething coming on.

Good on its own, or stirred into tea, yogurt, smoothies, and salad dressing and even cocktails. Keep it sealed, in a cupboard, away from light. It can also be kept in the fridge, where it tastes especially refreshing.

Does honey expire?

Honey has no fixed shelf life. Stored well, sealed and out of the light, it keeps for years.

Is the 650g the same honey as the 140g?

Yes. Same bees, same farms, same harvest.

How do I know it is real honey?

Not by the home tests circulating online, which fail genuine honeys including ours. We go through what actually matters in Honey Laundering.

Can I use a metal spoon?

You can. We prefer bamboo because it will not react with the honey or scratch the jar or your mug.

How is this different from Manuka?

Manuka comes from one plant. Ours comes from different fruit farms, so the flavour carries mango, tamarind, lychee and calamansi notes. Our honey has been lab tested at twice the potency of a UMF 26+ Manuka. It is also rarer, lower in sugar, and naturally higher in propolis. We compare the two properly in What is Medicinal Honey?

Is it safe for children?

Yes, above one year old. Never give any honey to an infant under 12 months.

Why is it runnier than other honey?

Stingless bee honey has a higher moisture content naturally. It will not crystallise the way regular honey does. Why that is, here.

Why does it taste sour?

Organic acids, enzyme activity and storage in propolis lined pots. It is a feature rather than a fault, and we explain it in Why Does Trigona Honey Taste Sour?

Does it need refrigeration?

Yes and no. If you don't, keep it away from light and heat.

Texture:Thick stingless bee honey Flavor:The taste itself is unique and is very potent I purchased the smaller bottle a few months ago and is buying the bigger bottle because it is effective for sore throat. I will take a tea spoon daily for maintenance.

Performance:good Suitability:good Item received in good condition as per described on the listing. Good for sore throat.

Not sure what to expect as this is my first bottle. Will leave a good rating first as it was packed well. Will return to change my rating if the taste is found to be wanting or if I don't feel its benefits. It is after all a very expensive bottle by all standards, so it had better be good.
