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.
MAD HONEY FROM NEPAL
Mad Honey is a rare Himalayan cliff honey produced by the giant Himalayan honeybee (Apis laboriosa), which builds large, exposed colonies on remote cliff faces throughout the Himalayas. The bees forage across alpine & subalpine landscapes, gathering nectar from diverse mountain flora, including certain wild Rhododendron species whose nectar can contain naturally occurring grayanotoxins, the compounds that give Mad Honey its distinctive chemical profile.
Renowned for high-altitude antioxidants and bioactive compounds, the popularity is more centered on the traditional cliff hanging collection method, practiced only by the indigenous communities like the Gurungs. Harvesting is limited to once a year. Each jar hence carries the essence of the Himalayan forests, the centuries old tradition and the mountain bees.

What Makes Nepal Mad Honey Different
Mad Honey Nepal is shaped by the high-altitude Himalayan landscape, where wild Apis laboriosa bees forage across seasonal mountain flora, including Rhododendron species. Local honey-hunting communities have passed down traditional climbing methods to reach colonies built on steep cliff faces. Because each harvest depends on terrain, flowering cycles, weather, and the natural rhythm of the bees, production is limited and every batch develops its own distinct character.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
