Mad Honey –
Far Beyond Ordinary
Medicinal Mad Honey honors a centuries-old Himalayan tradition, offering the world a taste of one of nature's most difficult harvests.
RAREST HONEY IN THE WORLD
Nectar from alpine, subalpine wildflowers, expect earthy notes & a complex character in every drop.
Mad Honey is rare himalayan cliff honey 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.
Small batches. Once a year.

Still have questions? Feel free to reach out to us.
What is Mad Honey?
Mad honey is a wild honey type from one of the highest altitudes on Earth- the Hindu Kush Himalayan region. Harvested only once a year, this limitation aligns with the seasonal blooming period of alpine and subalpine flowers especially rhododendrons.
What makes Nepal mad honey different?
Nepal mad honey, unlike others, carries the imprint of remote Himalayan cliff hives, unique Apis laboriosa bees of the Himalayas, seasonal rhododendron blooms and traditional honey hunting.
Is mad honey only found in Nepal?
No. Mad honey from Turkey is also well known. The difference lies in the sourcing; Nepal mad honey is related to the wild hives in the Himalayan forest while Turkey mad honey comes from man-made hives put intentionally in the rhododendron forests of the Black Sea region.
What makes Nepal mad honey so valuable?
Harvested once a year from one of the highest altitudes on Earth says it all. The high-altitude floral source, the traditional cliff-hanging harvesting method and the exclusive bee species that prepares it- all contribute to its exclusivity.
Where does our Mad Honey come from?
Our mad honey comes from around 4,000 metres altitude from the Himalayas of Nepal where limited flowers bloom for a short period. Using the traceable barcode that comes with the jar, consumers can easily get the exact details of the harvest.
