Where This Honey Comes From

The Eastern Himalayas of Sikkim — a biodiversity hotspot with over 5,000 species of flowering plants. Bees forage across wild forests that have never seen a pesticide.

How We Verify

Every harvest is reported by the farmer via WhatsApp, verified by our ApiCare field team led by Rohan Pradhan in Sikkim, and linked to this profile. No harvest enters our supply chain unverified.

What Your Purchase Does

Revenue flows directly to farmer payments. Dal Bhadur earns 3x the market rate because you can verify exactly who made your honey — and now trains 8 other farmers to do the same.
