Everything you need to know about our rare Himalayan harvest, safety, and shipping.

Every harvest season, honey hunters risk their lives on the mountainous cliffs to get the mad honey. This difficulty in access demands tremendous hard work and makes it one of the rarest ones in the world. The aftermath of transporting to the store, packaging, and dispatching adds to the exotic and pure honey that you receive right at your doorstep. Also, they say the best things in life are really expensive, and ‘Best Mad Honey’ isn’t just a random name. It is definitely one of the best!

Yes and No. The amount of grayanotoxin determines the level of ‘madness’ mad honey can provide. Not all mad honeys make you mad. We have graded Best Mad Honey based on the amount of grayanotoxin present in the honey. The strongest we have is the Rare Harvest, followed by the spring harvest and the autumn harvest versions.

Well, of course and definitely. We simply filter the honey and jar it immediately, completely bypassing pasteurisation and, importantly, the use of any preservatives. We closely supervise the process to make sure we deliver 100% raw, organic, and pure mad honey to your table.

Honey hunting is a tradition dating back centuries, and we involve experienced honey hunters for the task. Our hunters are well-informed about the adaptation of bees, the right season and time to harvest, and know the techniques of retrieving honey without hurting the bees. For instance, we smoke the bees out of their hives from a distance and harvest honey by making sure not even a single bee is hurt. A healthy colony of bees collects more honey than they will be able to consume. By harvesting at the right time, right amount, and with the right technique, we make sure that honey bees have enough time to build their honey stores back up.

Shipping times vary by destination. On average, deliveries take 4-12 business days. For reference:

Please note these are estimated delivery times and may vary due to customs or local postal services.

Yes, mad honey is the rarest form of honey available and not abundant enough to sell. However, during the honey hunting season, we do a tremendous amount of hard work, collaborate with the hunters, send our team to different parts of the country to obtain the honey, and finally bring it to our warehouse. And, it is 100% legitimate. The amount of hard work on the ground helps us serve it to people worldwide.

One might experience diarrhoea, vomiting, and nausea if mad honey is not consumed moderately as per the specifications in the jar.

Mad Honey is prized for its unique bioactive compounds, harvested by Apis laboriosa from rare Himalayan herbs. Traditionally, it has been used to:

  • Boost libido and vitality, enhancing natural energy and stamina.
  • Support heart health by helping regulate blood pressure and circulation.
  • Aids digestion and soothes gastrointestinal discomfort.
  • Promote healthy skin, thanks to its antioxidant-rich properties.
  • Provide mild pain relief and support overall wellness.
  • Support immunity naturally.

Archaeologists have found out that 3000-year-old pure honey in the Egyptian pyramid is still edible, which means that the pure mad honey has no expiry date. However, due to the high moisture content of 24% compared to the 18% moisture content found in normal honey, mad honey might be slightly fermented. We recommend you stir it before consuming.

This quantity is considered a starting point for experiencing the honey's unique properties while minimizing the potential for toxicity. Exceeding this single-serving limit can quickly escalate the dosage of grayanotoxins, leading to unpredictable and possibly dangerous health consequences.
