About This Honey

This is raw, multifloral honey from wild Trigona stingless bees in the Luwu Region of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Stingless bee honey differs from conventional honeybee honey in one key way: these bees build their entire hive, honey pots, brood cells, tunnels, from propolis, rather than using it only as a minor structural sealant. As a result, this honey naturally contains a notably higher concentration of propolis compounds than conventional honey.

The Luwu Region is a biodiverse area of tropical forest, rivers, and wildflower meadows, reflected in this honey's multifloral character. The honey has a distinctive fresh, floral, tart flavour with a gentle bitterness from its propolis content.

Certified by Indonesia's BPOM (National Agency of Drug and Food Control, RI MD 152128005380) and MUI LPPOM halal certification (00120101310120).

This is a food product. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. This information is general and does not constitute medical or dietary advice.

Benefits

• Naturally higher in propolis compounds than conventional honeybee honey

• Naturally contains a range of flavonoids (including quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, and isorhamnetin) and phenolic acids (coumaric, ferulic, and gallic acids), which are naturally occurring plant compounds found across many foods

• Naturally higher in organic acids (gluconic, citric, malic) than conventional honey, this is the source of its distinctive tart, complex flavour

• Naturally contains minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc) and trace B vitamins

• Raw and unheated, so naturally occurring enzymes (glucose oxidase, diastase, invertase) remain present

• The distinctive tart-to-bitter flavour is a natural characteristic of higher-propolis honey, and a marker of authenticity for this style of product

Directions for Use

• Daily use: Take 1–6 teaspoons daily, either straight from the spoon or stirred into a small glass of warm (not hot) water. Begin with 1 teaspoon daily and gradually increase according to individual preference and tolerance. Consistent use provides the greatest cumulative natural wellness benefit.

• With Sitopaladi: Traditionally, Sitopaladi is combined with honey to create a smooth herbal paste. Mix equal parts Stingless Bee Honey and Sitopoladhi Powder until well blended, then slowly dissolve ¼–1 teaspoon in the mouth up to 5 times daily. This traditional preparation allows the herbs and honey to remain in contact with the throat for longer while providing a pleasantly soothing Ayurvedic wellness ritual.

• Temperature note: Avoid mixing this honey into very hot water or tea, temperatures above 40°C begin to break down some of the honey's naturally occurring compounds and its delicate flavour profile. Warm or room-temperature liquid preserves this better.

• In warm water: Dissolve 1–2 tablespoons in a glass of warm water, with a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired.

• With herbal teas: Add 1 teaspoon to a warm (not hot) herbal tea, this pairs well with ginger, turmeric, lemongrass, chamomile, or any of the Vitality Now tea blends. Let the tea cool slightly first.

• As a food: Drizzle over yoghurt, porridge, fresh fruit, or toast as an alternative to conventional honey.

• On the tongue: Some people enjoy letting a small amount sit on the tongue before swallowing, for the flavour experience.

• Storage: Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate. Natural crystallisation may occur, this is normal for raw, unprocessed honey and doesn't affect quality. Gently warm the sealed jar in warm water to re-liquefy if needed.

• Important safety note: Not suitable for children under 12 months, all honey carries a natural risk of infant botulism. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing blood sugar levels (including diabetes), please consult your healthcare practitioner before regular use, as honey is a source of natural sugars regardless of its other properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Stingless Bee Honey different from regular honey? +

Stingless Bee Honey from the Luwu region of Indonesia is produced by Trigona bees, a distinct species from the European honeybee. It has a unique tart-sweet flavour profile with higher water content, lower sugar content, and a broader spectrum of enzymes and antioxidants than conventional honey. In Ayurveda, honey (Madhu) from small bees is classified as the highest quality honey with superior therapeutic properties.

How is Stingless Bee Honey used in Ayurveda? +

In Ayurveda, honey is called Madhu and is used as a vehicle (Anupana) for delivering herbal formulas, as a natural sweetener, as a traditional external skin-supportive preparation, and as a digestive aid. It is added to herbal powders, taken with warm (not hot) water, and used in Nasya (nasal therapies). Ayurveda advises never heating honey above body temperature.

Can Stingless Bee Honey support immunity and seasonal health? +

Honey has been used across Ayurvedic, Traditional Chinese, and indigenous traditions for its naturally Ojas-supporting and seasonally vitalising properties. Stingless Bee Honey's broad enzyme and antioxidant profile makes it a traditional choice for supporting natural vitality and seasonal wellness. It is not a treatment for any infection or medical condition. Consult your healthcare practitioner for health concerns.

Can Stingless Bee Honey support skin healing when applied externally? +

Honey has a centuries-long history across multiple traditional medicine systems as an external skin preparation for minor skin support and skin nourishment. Ayurveda includes it in traditional external skin preparations. Stingless Bee Honey may be applied externally to dry skin as part of a traditional skin wellness practice. It is not a treatment for any skin condition, injury, or medical concern. Consult a healthcare professional for skin concerns.

Is Stingless Bee Honey better than Manuka Honey? +

Both Stingless Bee Honey and Manuka Honey are prized specialty honeys from distinct geographic regions with unique therapeutic profiles. Manuka's reputation is built on methylglyoxal (MGO) content. Stingless Bee Honey is valued for its full-spectrum enzyme, antioxidant, and probiotic profile and its specific botanical diversity from the Luwu region. They are complementary rather than competitive, both have unique traditional uses.
