HASA Stingless Bee Honey | Rare Honey from the Heart of the Amazon

HASA Stingless Bee Honey

Rare stingless bee honey from the Ecuadorian Amazon.

One of Ecuador's most remarkable natural treasures, HASA honey is produced by native stingless bees and harvested through the HASA conservation project in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

Unlike conventional honey produced by European honeybees, stingless bee honey is naturally rare and produced in very small amounts, making every harvest exceptionally limited. The result is a distinctive honey prized for its unique character, complexity and connection to one of the world's most biodiverse ecosystems.

Our honey is produced as part of the HASA initiative, Hospital de Abejas Sin Aguijón, a pioneering project dedicated to the conservation, recovery and protection of Ecuador's native stingless bee species.

Through sustainable habitat restoration, HASA helps protect pollinators that play a vital role in maintaining the health and biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest.

Carefully harvested and minimally processed, this honey reflects the extraordinary environment from which it comes. Rich, complex and naturally distinctive, it offers a rare opportunity to experience a product that has never previously been available in the UK.

More than simply honey, it represents a direct connection to one of the Amazon's most important conservation efforts and the remarkable native bees that help sustain the rainforest itself.
