MAD HONEY FROM NEPAL
Mad Honey is rare himalayan cliff honey product made by Apis laboriosa from high-cliff hives located in the deep forests of the Himalayas. The Himalayan giant honeybees (Apis laboriosa) make it by concentrating nectar collected from wild alpine and subalpine flowers, exclusively from over 30 species of wild rhododendrons that mountain forests here harbor.
The collection method is like no other. The indigenous Gurung communities climb the cliffs and harvest mad honey hanging in the air for hours. Harvesting occurs only twice annually. Each jar hence is the limited expression of Himalayan forests, of ancient traditions, of native Himalayan communities and of the great golden bees.

What Makes Nepal Mad Honey Different
Nepal mad honey comes from some of the highest altitudes on Earth where diverse mountain vegetation layers the Himalayan forests. Coming from such an exclusive landscape of iconic Himalayan rhododendrons, it holds natural qualities of wild honey at its purest expression. Moving to harvesting, it is unlike anywhere in the world. Native Himalayan communities developed their own climbing ways to reach hives suspended on high cliffs. They established the tradition of harvesting only twice a year prioritizing the health of the bee colonies. Naturally limited by terrain, flowering seasons, and mountain harvest cycles, every batch carries a character of its own.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mad Honey?
Mad honey is a unique honey prepared by the largest honebee species Apis laboriosa in the mountains of Nepal. It is harvested only twice a year. The limit in the availability is due to the seasonal blooms of alpine flowers, mainly rhododendrons.
What makes Nepal mad honey different?
Any honey reflects the environment it comes from and Nepal mad honey is different in carrying the imprint of remote Himalayan cliff hives, Apis laboriosa bees, seasonal rhododendron blooms and traditional honey-hunting.
Is mad honey only found in Nepal?
No. Nepal and Turkey are the two countries associated with mad honey production. Nepal mad honey comes from the wild hives in the mountainous cliffs, while in Turkey, hives are intentionally set in the rhododendron forests of the Black Sea region.
What makes Nepal mad honey so valuable?
Nepal mad honey carries a premium price because it is gathered from wild Himalayan bee colonies rather than farm-managed hives. Harvesting happens only in limited seasons, often twice a year, and requires skilled collectors to reach remote mountain cliffs.
The rarity, traditional harvesting method, careful handling, and transportation from rugged Himalayan terrain all add to its value compared to regular honey
Compared to other types of honey, mad honey is naturally produced in the high cliffs of Nepal which is far from human habitation, collected from the altitude above 3500+ meters and has a darker, flowery wild profile and unique tastes. It has a long history as a respected medicinal plant, traditionally used by the Gurung people as a remedy.
Where does our Mad Honey come from?
Our mad honey is sourced from the Himalayan forests of Nepal where bees gather nectar from high-altitude alpine and sub-alpine flowers. Each jar comes with a barcode connected to harvest details and traceability records.
