MEXICAN SCAPTOTRIGONA
The historical and cultural link
The Melipona is a large, strong and hairy bee that lives inside holes in trees and stone walls. Produces more honey than all bees. However, Melipona honey production is very complex due to the bee's sensitivity to climate and habitat change.
.
Our honey production comes from the Totonac area of Veracruz, located in the center of the country. More than 20 producer families work together, forming a legal cooperative, following the company's Edible Forest model, associating the cultivation of cinnamon, allspice, vanilla and melipona.
.
The main harvest is between March and April. Then comes a post-harvest stabilization work of the fermentation, giving a honey available for sale in July-August.
