Organic honey isn’t just about what’s in the bottle—it’s also about where it comes from. Organic Hive Honey is harvested in rural Brazil, where honeybees can roam for miles through the rich, biodiverse region without ever encountering pesticides or even managed farmland.

If you're looking for high-quality organic honey, it's probably because of the many purported benefits of choosing organic over conventional foods. Here are just a few of the reasons to choose Organic Hive — without even mentioning its sweet, floral taste.

Health Benefits (with a Caveat)

Raw & unfiltered honey, including Organic Hive, retains enzymes, antioxidants, and trace nutrients that cooked/pasteurized honeys lose. Because honey tastes sweeter than sugar, a small dose of honey can cut down on your sweet cravings and thus prevent you from eating other sweets.

Some studies even suggest honey may support digestion, wound healing, and healthy metabolism. That said, honey is not medicine—it’s still sugar, and should be consumed in moderation. (NIH)

Environmental Benefits

Organic certification requires strict standards: no synthetic pesticides, no GMO crops, no contamination from conventional farms. This ensures a more natural environment for bees and helps support biodiversity. The local beekeepers we partner with in Brazil let their bees forage on the wildflowers that bloom nearly year-round in the tropical Brazilian highlands.

Why Brazil?

In the U.S., bees roam too freely for organic certification. Nearly anywhere they go, there's a chance they'll visit a plant that has been exposed to pesticides, even accidentally. In rural Brazil, where we source Organic Hive, local beekeepers can guarantee their hives forage only on organic land.

Before it's shipped to the U.S., every shipment of Organic Hive is certified both Fair Trade and Organic by IBD, an internationally accredited certifying organization.

That’s how Organic Hive achieves true 100% organic certification, unlike many blended “organic” honeys on shelves.

Bottom line: Organic honey has benefits for both your body and the planet.
