There are several types of honey available in the market; it is somehow confusing to know which one will be more nutritious, but we make your work a lot easier. Artificial honey and real Himalaya honey look a lot similar, yet it is still not that hard to spot the differences between the two. Raw organic wild forest honey is a variety that is believed to possess more nutritive value and good quality.
Himalaya forest honey is extracted from Uttarakhand's thick, green forests. Unlike ordinary honey, it's made with sustainability, hygiene, and community development in mind, so it's your number-one choice for your organic lifestyle.
Here’s how the process works, why it’s epic, and how it delivers for your skin and taste buds:
Traditional Yet Eco-Friendly Harvesting in Uttarakhand
In Uttarakhand’s rugged Himalayan forests, skilled honey hunters use a time-honored yet refined method. They bind themselves with ropes to climb cliffs or high trees safely where abundant wild beehives exist. Rather than using fire or smoke (which kills bees), they use bamboo sticks to coax honeycombs gently, scooping them up in buckets without killing the hive. This way, bees can rebuild and flourish, maintaining the colony intact.
In comparison to other destruction methods, this process does not harm Apis cerana (Indian native bees), which are essential for pollinating Himalayan wildflowers. The combs are treated gently to prevent any contamination by smoke or debris so that the honey is raw and unprocessed with enzymes and antioxidants for your health and skin.
Special Extraction for Chemical-Free Purity
After collecting combs, hunters use a natural separation process. Honey is left to settle in containers for a day, allowing organic impurities like leaves, wax, and pollen chunks to float or sink. It’s then drawn from a tap, discarding the top and bottom layers for crystal-clear, raw honey—no heating, no ultrafiltration, no chemicals.
Regular honey is often pasteurized, killing nutrients like polyphenols and enzymes. Harvest Himalaya’s method retains these, delivering 20–30% more antioxidant activity than processed honey, per 2019 studies.
Sourced from Diverse, Pristine Forests
Our organic wild forest honey is sourced from Uttarakhand’s Himalayan slopes bursting with antioxidant-rich flora. These forests yield multifloral honey with a complex, woody aroma and robust taste, unlike regular honey’s one-note sweetness. The diverse nectar sources like wildflowers, not just random fruits, boost nutritional value, with vitamins, minerals, and prebiotics for gut health, tying to your ACV love.
Community-Driven and Sustainable
Harvest Himalaya works with tribal communities and local beekeepers, trained in non-destructive methods. This empowers rural families, providing fair wages and preserving traditional knowledge.
By protecting bee colonies, it supports pollination, boosting crop yields by 20–30% in organic farms near Bengaluru. It’s a nod to your eco-conscious, sustainable skincare passion.
