Questions, answered

Yes. Every batch is raw — cold-extracted, never heated or pasteurised — and lab-tested against FSSAI honey standards, including adulteration screening. Nothing is added and nothing is blended in.

Not at all — it’s a natural sign of real, raw honey. Pure honey often crystallises, especially in cooler conditions. Just stand the jar in warm (not hot) water and it returns to liquid, with all its goodness intact.

Cheruthen comes from tiny stingless bees, and a whole colony produces only a few hundred grams in an entire year. Its rarity, its labour, and its treasured medicinal reputation in Kerala are all reflected in the price.

Completely natural. It’s honey our bees make from the sweet nectar rubber trees secrete on their young leaves for a few weeks each year. It’s simply light, mild honey — nothing to do with latex.

Yes. Most of the year our colonies sit in the estates and homesteads around Trivandrum, but after the monsoon we migrate them up into the mountain ranges to meet the wild forest bloom at its peak, bringing them home again in December. Migratory beekeeping is demanding work, but it is the only way to gather genuine wild forest honey in any quantity.

Yes, we ship our honey and hive products across India. Kerala orders are dispatched within 48 hours. (Live bees are local/short-distance only — please contact us.)

Keep it in a cool, dry place with the lid closed. No refrigeration needed for honey (royal jelly is the exception — keep that chilled). Raw honey keeps for years.

Children over one year, yes — honey should not be given to infants under 12 months. For diabetes or any medical condition, please consult your doctor; honey is still a sugar.

Yes — contact us to arrange local pickup or a visit. We love meeting people who care where their honey comes from.
