Stingless Bee Honey

Stingless bees (Tetragonula iridipennis, also called Lebida trigona locally) build their colonies inside hollow logs and tree cavities. They do not sting. They are ancient pollinators — present in this region long before the European honeybee arrived.

Their honey is different. Lower sugar content. Higher water content. Naturally acidic. It does not granulate. The flavour is more complex — floral, slightly sour, with a finish that lingers.

Production is small by nature. A single stingless bee colony produces around 500g of honey per year. We maintain multiple colonies at Chetna Farm, and each batch is harvested by hand once a year.

This honey is used traditionally in Ayurveda. We make no medical claims, but we respect that tradition.

What you get: 50g glass jar, sealed. Shelf life: 24 months.
