For years, we’ve sourced our bee-produced ingredients from our beekeeping friends in Hawaii. In doing so, we’ve supported ecological and biodynamic agriculture and holistic beekeeping practices.
However, as we continue to grow, this source is no longer able to meet our demand. To ensure quality and support healthy, thriving beehives, we have decided to make an important switch that aligns with our ethos.
Currently, all of the bee-produced ingredients in our products come from certified-organic apiaries. Organic certification requires the land within an apiary’s flight area to contain only organic agriculture without pesticides.
Organic apiaries are also more likely to take a holistic approach to beekeeping that allows the bees to feed, pollinate, produce honey and breed with minimal intervention, encouraging happy, thriving colonies.
From supporting healthy bee populations to encouraging human rights efforts to promoting sustainability, we want to thank you, our conscious consumers, for helping us continue to make small decisions with huge impact.
