034 Wild Red Dwarf Bee.jpg

This is honey made by the wild red dwarf bees, also known as small bees or apis florea, from the forest in north India. It is also known as kombu honey in south India. They are one of the most primitive species of honeybee, reflected in their small colony size, and simple nest construction usually on tree branches. An interesting fact about them is that their new nesting site is less than 100-200m away from the old site, the colony would reuse the beewax of their old nest for the construction of their new nest. This is a behavior known to be exhibited only by red dwarf bees. The honey they make have excellent flavor qualities. The amount of honey they make is small, usually not exceeding several hundred grams per colony. As per Ayurveda, it is considered to be the best type of honey. 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.

Regarding Honey Color, Taste & Other Properties:
The variant of honey will precisely be of the same origin as mentioned in the product description, however, it may vary from product image as pure raw honey never stays the same. It's alive with yeast, their enzymes & different forms of sugar in it. As it ages, its color, consistency and/or taste profile may change mildly or extremely, depending on many factors like pollen count of different flowers, ratio of nectar of different flowers that blossom, and more. Also, crystallization may occur when the natural glucose settles on beneficial microparticles in honey.
