Our Mission

Sundarban Honey has begun its journey with a mission to raise the standard and meet the ideal quality expectation of raw honey by providing organic honey straight from its natural source- beehives in the Sundarban forest.

The honey is collected from its natural habitat in the ideal season from the deep parts of the Sundarban forest by the local villagers who have been doing honey collection for generations.

How we do it

A natural sweetener, medicinal source, nutrition-rich kitchen ingredient, a dietary source of vitamins, minerals, and whatnot, the benefits of organic honey can not be counted on the fingers. But as many benefits it has, as difficult it is to get your hands on the purest form of this syrupy liquid.

Sundarban Honey hails to the moulies who go deep in the mangrove forest to gather the best quality honey from the natural source- honey bee hives. This allow us to provide our buyers with the best quality organic honey directly from the Sundarban forest.

The tale of Moulies

In spring every year, moulies or honey gatherers would come forward and put their lives in danger to collect the world-famous honey from Sundarbans’s mangrove tree. As the moulies have to enter deep into the forest for weeks or a month, there is always the fear of becoming the prey of the wild pride of the Sundarban forest, the Royal Bengal tigers. The moulies travel in groups with a team leader who is very experienced and senior in this job, as they have to stay alert all the time.

A thread of inherited experience

Honey collection in the Sundarban forest is not something learned from textbooks but is inherited from generation to generation. The villagers go deep down in the Sundarban forests and start off their job of honey collection by observing the movement of the honey bees carrying honey. As moulies eyes are always fixed to the mangrove tree’s top in search of the beehive, they are always vulnerable to the Royal Bengal tiger attack.

Sustainable practice

The honey gathers or Moulies only cuts down the part of the bee hives which contains the honey and leave the rest area that has bee larvae. Destroying the biodiversity of the sacred forest by damaging the full honeycomb is a big no for them.
