What is Melipona honey? Where does it come from?

Along the tropical eastern coast of Mexico in the Yucatán Peninsula, resides a rare, stingless bee population cultivated by the Maya civilization more than 3 millennium ago known as the Melipona beecheii.

This ancient Mayan medicine, harvested bi-annually from the Melipona bee species, is a special treasure to all who come across it and has proven to exhibit many medicinal properties. The elixir has distinctly rich flavor profile with slight acidicity and unique floral undertones-- depending on which plant the the specifc hive has pollinated.

What is Tstisilché Apis Melifera honey?

Tsiltsiché Honey comes from the well-known Apis Melifera "honeybee" hives. This genus of bee produces a thick, flavorful & medicinal amber-colored elixir.

The flavor of this honey exhibits rich, floral notes as well as subtle hints of bee pollen to concoct an authentic profile from the Mayan jungle. Our Apis Melifera honey is strained, directly from the healthy honeybee hives, through a fine cheesecloth to ensure that no impurities are present in the bottle.

This raw honey can also be used as a rejuvenating mask or gentle exfoliant on the face or body!

Where do we source our honey from?

Our specialty honey products are ethically sourced, hand-harvested and fairly traded with Mayan communities in The Yucatán Peninsula, along the eastern coast of Mexico.

What health benefits does Melipona honey provide?

In ancient Mayan times, Melipona honey was used as a potent medicinal elixir to stabilize blood sugar, alleviate headaches, heal acute stomach pain, enhance overall well-being & energy levels as well as treat cataracts in the eyes.

Melipona honey has become increasingly rare and is considered extremely potent, with a plethora of proven physical & mental health benefits.

How is this benefiting the communities?

10% of each purchase, from our Beelixir product line, will go back to the Mayan community and beekeepers in Bacalar- who hold the foundational wisdom to upholding this rare, ancient genus of bees and harvesting their potent elixir.

A portion of your purchase will contribute to the cultivation of Melipona hives, the developing population of the genus, and the expanding preservation of their lush jungle habitat through purchasing more land and ebbing the rapid increase of deforestation on the surrounding sacred grounds.

Mayan Melipona bees & hives are of the essence and our time to act is NOW!

Why are these products more expensive?

We are committed to supporting and integrating communities, causes & projects that need our immediate attention. Us+E charges a bit extra due to the intentional time and effort that goes into curating each of our products. All of our specialty products are carefully handcrafted since we do not mass produce.

In addition, a portion of your purchase will be donated to the communities in collaboration with us.
