The word 'Kiwot' in Filipino means 'Stingless Bee.' Our product is unadulterated natural honey from a species of stingless bee unique and originally endemic to forested areas of Luzon in the Philippines. The scientific name for our kiwot is Teragonula Biroi or commonly T. Biroi. This honey is harvested from Kiwot brood colonies located in Upper Tanay, Rizal, Luzon.
Kiwot honey - with a mildly tart and tangy taste - is distinct and different from viscous and sweeter commonly retailed honey produced from bees that sting (or, formally are in non-tropical climates distant from our beautiful islands. This species of rarer honey has more moisture and lower sugar content.
Kiwot honey has useful nutritional value with high levels of flavonoids and polyphenols because these bees visit numerous floral species due to small body size which allows for wider and more varied pollination. Kiwot honey also has higher levels of certain organic acids, vitamins and bioactive compounds, including antioxidants and antimicrobial agents. Current research suggests that, in addition to nutritional value, the honey and propolis from kiwot species has 'extraordinary healing properties', include neuroprotective agents that fight against ischemic stroke, in addition to holding anti-inflammatory properties that have tumor-suppressing potential.
