046 Small Bee.jpg

This is honey made by the wild small bees, also known as red dwarf bees or apis florea, collected by tribals from the forests in Tamil Nadu. They are one of the most primitive species of honeybee, reflected in their small colony size, and simple nest construction usually on tree branches. In Hindu culture, the honey from such bees represents “the blendedness of everything” and is served with other ingredients in a variety of traditional ceremonies. The amount of honey they make is small, usually not exceeding several hundred grams per colony. The tribals store it in brass pots that they dig in soil and close. When needed, they dig out the pots and use it. Raw honey stored in brass pots stay the same retaining its purity and beneficial properties. It is runny than normal honey and highly medicinal. As per Ayurveda, it is considered to be the best type of honey. Moreover, honey has made a large scale impact on the tribal community of many little villages in the area and is source of livelihood for a number of tribal honey collectors. It helps to cure impotence and improving the nervous system. This honey has been used in traditional medicines like Siddha and Ayurveda and is considered to be superior in quality by the alternative medicine practitioners. It is also good for skin and has natural anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle, anti-acne and skin repairing properties.
