What flowers and plants do the bees gather nectar from in this honey?
Essence of Sisters Honey is produce of diverse honeybee flora like litchi, mustard, citrus, wild sunflower, guava, eucalyptus, and seasonal forest blooms, supporting rich nectar flow and high-quality honey production across the region.
Which species of honeybees this Honey?
Apis cerana indica, Apis dorsata and Apis florea – The little bee.
In what ways is this Honey unique compared to commercial honey?
Raw and Unprocessed:
Stingless honeybee honey is raw, unprocessed, unheated, and minimally filtered. This preserves the natural pollen content and beneficial enzymes that support overall health whereas mostly commercial honey is pasteurized, filtered, and processed, which removes beneficial enzymes and pollen. Stingless Bee use propolis (plant resin) extensively in their hives, giving their honey medicinal properties. Also, it is higher in antioxidants, antimicrobials, and enzymes, contains probiotic qualities due to natural fermentation.
Sourced from Indigenous Wild Honeybees:
It is produced by native honeybee, unlike most commercial honey which comes from domesticated Italian honeybees (Apis mellifera).
Collected from Deep Forests, Not Farmlands:
This honeybee nests in tree trunks, wall crevices, or sometimes underground and harvesting is more delicate and sustainable, often involving indigenous knowledge. This honeybee is better pollinators of small flowers and certain crops which is crucial for forest regeneration and ecosystem balance in tropical areas like Nagaland and Assam. In contrast, domesticated bees are kept in boxes near crop fields and primarily gather nectar from pesticide-treated crops—potentially introducing chemical residues into the honey.
Free from Pesticide Contamination:
Since the honeybees forage in untouched forest areas, the honey is less likely to contain pesticides or agricultural chemicals, making it a more natural and safer choice.
Naturally Varies in Taste, Color, and Texture:
The flavor, aroma, color, and texture of forest Honey naturally vary with the changing forest flora across seasons. In comparison, commercial honeys are often blended to maintain a uniform appearance and taste.

What is raw and unprocessed honey?
Raw and Unprocessed honey means it hasn't been pasteurized, heated or heavily filtered. It retains pollen, propolis, and enzymes, making it more beneficial for health.
How does this honey taste, and what color is it?
This honey is Amber-brown in color, often darker than most of the regular forest honey. Its taste is tangy, semi-sweet, and slightly fermented, with a unique acidic note that sets it apart.
Why some honey crystallizes over time?
Honey is primarily made from flower nectar and is a combination of glucose and fructose. Honeybees collect nectar from flowers and store it in their hive to make honey. Each type of flower has a different glucose-to-fructose ratio, and these ratios determine the crystallization of honey.
Honey crystallizes if the glucose content is high; similarly, honey may not crystallize if the fructose content is higher. So, crystallization depends on the types of flora the honeybees have foraged from. For example, mustard flower honey may crystallize in 7–10 days, whereas Kalsi flower honey may not crystallize.
If Glucose / Fructose ratio is >=1 ; Honey may crystalize
If its < 0.9 ; Honey may not crystalize.
Why Does Honey Crystalize?
Glucose is less soluble than fructose in water, so when glucose is high, it tends to form crystals faster.
Fructose is more soluble, so honey with higher fructose crystallizes slower or stays liquid longer
Some of the examples of High Crystallization Honeys:
Mustard Honey
Glucose content is high → crystallizes quickly (within 7-10 days)
Rapeseed (Canola) Honey
Very high glucose content → crystallizes rapidly
Sunflower Honey
Moderate to high glucose → crystallizes relatively fast
Clover Honey
Known for fast crystallization due to higher glucose
Alfalfa Honey
Tends to crystallize quickly due to sugar composition
Crystallization should never be considered as a purity parameter, it is completely normal and does not mean the honey has gone bad or it is adulterated honey!

Is it safe to give this honey to a child under 1 year old?
As per FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) regulations, honey is not recommended for consumption by infants under 12 months, to prevent the risk of infant botulism.
Can diabetic patient consume honey?
Honey is a natural sweetener, but it still contains sugar in form of glucose and fructose. So, consuming any type of honey can raise blood sugar level. Diabetic people should consult the doctor before including honey in their diet.
Is this honey sourced from a third party?
No, we do not source honey from third parties. We have a dedicated team of skilled honey harvesters who travel from forest to forest during the harvesting season. Our harvesters work closely with the local and tribal communities, respecting their traditional knowledge and sustainable practices. This collaboration not only ensures high-quality, pure honey but also supports the livelihoods of these communities, empowering them and preserving their cultural heritage while promoting environmentally friendly honey harvesting.
What is the best way to store this honey?
Store honey in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in a cool, dry place—there’s no need to refrigerate, as cold temperatures can cause it to crystallize faster.
