Many people have never heard of a Stingless Bee. Their name speaks
for itself… Stingless, lack a functional sting. They store honey and
pollen in vertical cerumen pots made up of propolis and wax. The
hive itself differs from your regular Honey Bee in terms of shape
and structure. With a sticky wax tube to protect the entrance of
their hive and globular pots connected by a type of scaffolding.
The honey produced by Stingless Bees has citrus flavour notes with a
slight tang. This is because the honey naturally ferments. We sell
our honey in 100ml pots because what we have learned makes us aware
of the medical potential and would only offer it in this quantity as
we would encourage you to allow it to benefit you health, rewilding
your...biome.
This fantastic product of nature has the potential to become a
consumable sugar for diabetics, it carries 25% water and carries
enzymes which only benefit your gut… and we now know that your
psychology and your gut are directly related. Lets get you
healthy!
The JustBEE Story
JustBEE Collaborates with local farmers and communities to encourage
the practice of beekeeping vs. honey hunting. Pollinating from
Arusha, Tanzania - around the agricultural areas surrounding Mount
Meru, and the indigenous foot-hill flora of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Stingless bees produce less honey compared to honey bees, thus
exhibiting less economic appeal to humans. The bees native to Mt
Meru and Kilimanjaro produce on average one litre of honey per year.
Which means we only harvest once a year. This happens at a certain
time - before agricultural pesticide use is at its peak and long
before the tropical rain season (when the bees are unable to
forage). JustBee allows enough time for our bee colonies to repair
the perforated pots and gather stores before the...
winter season.
The use of stingless bees is referred to as meliponiculture, named
after bees of the tribe Meliponini.
JustBEE is very much into understanding more about the biology of
these bees so in order to better advise local farmers.
Products & Services
JustBEE has adopted a Brazilian technique whereby harvested honey is
stored in hermetically sealed vessels for a period of 4-6 months at
room temperature where the honey undergoes a maturation and
fermentation.
It has a distinct multifloral / citrus sweetness, mixed with an
acidic taste, and is a fluid sweet-sour liquid.
JustBEE is complex and contains a higher moisture content, greater
acidity, a lower level of total carbohydrates, amino acids,
proteins, vitamins, enzymes, minerals, organic acids, flavonoids and
higher levels of antioxidant and biological activities. JustBee
is...
a matured bioactive phytomedicine for gastrointestinal health &
wound healing.
This honey is super rare. While it’s not novel, it is certainly
something the world is almost oblivious to.
