Our Honey

Our beehives are nestled deep in Rwanda’s lush and pristine equatorial forests where the wild bees thrive and forage among eucalyptus trees and varieties of flora and fauna. From hive-to-spoon, our beekeepers take great care that the bees are healthy, the honey is pure and its natural goodness is retained for honey lovers around the world.
