About Our Honey

How is bbn Raw Stingless Bee Honey different from other honey?

Our raw stingless bee honey is different from other honey because it is naturally rich in trehalulose, a rare sugar with a low glycemic index that is slowly absorbed by the body. It also contains higher levels of antioxidants, organic acids, and bioactive compounds that support immune health and digestion. With a unique tangy-sour taste, it is harvested in small batches from chemical-free, sustainable bee farms, and retains its full nutritional profile without any heat processing. This makes it not only healthier but also more potent and authentic than regular honey.

What are the ingredients in bbn Raw Stingless Bee Honey?

The only ingredient in our honey is 100% raw honey containing propolis, trace minerals, and pollens that are sustainably harvested from Asia's exotic stingless bee. There are no added preservatives, colourants, or sweeteners.

What does 'raw' honey mean?

Raw honey means the honey is extracted and bottled without being heated or pasteurised. This preserves its natural enzymes, antioxidants, pollen, propolis, and bioactive compounds — all of which are destroyed by high-temperature processing in commercial honey.

What causes variation in bbn Raw Stingless Bee Honey?

Since honey is a natural product, no two batches are exactly the same. The colour, scent, and texture of the honey depends on the soil and weather conditions at the time bees collect nectar from the flowers. We are dedicated to keeping the honey as natural as possible so our customers get the most nutritional value from their purchase.

What causes the tangy-sour aftertaste in bbn Stingless Bee Honey?

Stingless bee honey has a tangy-sour aftertaste due to its high acidity, rich organic acids, natural fermentation from higher moisture content, and the tart or bitter notes from certain plant nectars. This is a hallmark of authentic, raw stingless bee honey and is perfectly normal.

What is propolis and is it present in all bbn honey?

Propolis is a natural resin produced by bees to protect and seal their hive. It is packed with antioxidants, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties, and is rich in bioflavonoids. Our raw stingless bee honey naturally contains propolis as part of its composition — it is not added separately.

Where is bbn Stingless Bee Honey sourced from?

Our honey is single-origin, sustainably harvested from small-batch bee farms across tropical Asia. bbn is made in Singapore and each batch is fully traceable back to its source farm.

What species of stingless bee produces bbn honey?

Our honey is produced by Asian stingless bee species, which are naturally found across tropical Southeast Asia. Unlike the common European honeybee, stingless bees produce smaller quantities of honey with a distinctly different nutritional profile.

Is bbn honey lab-tested or certified?

Yes. Our honey is rigorously lab-tested for purity, authenticity, and antimicrobial potency. Each product is graded using the Total Activity (TA) system, which is a scientifically verified measure of antibacterial strength.

Health & Nutrition

What does the TA (Total Activity) grading system mean for stingless bee honey?

The TA (Total Activity) grading system measures the antimicrobial strength of honey, combining both peroxide-based and non-peroxide activity (such as phenolics and enzymes). It is expressed as a number (e.g. TA10+, TA20+, TA25+, TA35+), and the higher the number, the stronger the antibacterial effect. For example, our Griffin Gold is rated TA25+ and our Unicorn Elixir is rated TA35+, making both suitable for therapeutic and medicinal support including wound care, sore throat relief, immune support, and gut health.

How many calories are in a teaspoon of stingless bee honey?

A teaspoon (about 7g) of stingless bee honey typically contains around 21–22 calories. This is generally lower than regular honey due to its higher water content and lower sugar density. Exact values may vary slightly by batch.

Does raw honey raise blood sugar?

Raw honey has a lower glycemic index (GI) than refined sugar. Honey has a GI score of around 58, compared to sugar's GI of 60. While honey is still a carbohydrate that raises blood sugar, it does so slightly more slowly than sugar.

Does stingless bee honey raise blood sugar?

Stingless bee honey has a significantly lower glycemic index than regular honey — typically between 35 and 45 — compared to regular raw honey which ranges from 58 to 70. This is largely due to its higher content of trehalulose, a slow-digesting sugar. This makes stingless bee honey a better option for managing blood sugar levels.

Is stingless bee honey suitable for people with diabetes?

Stingless bee honey is more suitable for people with diabetes than regular honey due to its low glycemic index and high trehalulose content. However, it is still a source of sugar and should be consumed in moderation. We recommend consulting your doctor or dietitian before adding any honey to your diet if you have diabetes.

What is trehalulose and why does it matter?

Trehalulose is a rare naturally occurring sugar found in high concentrations in stingless bee honey. Unlike regular sugars such as fructose or glucose, trehalulose is slowly digested and absorbed by the body, resulting in a lower blood sugar response. It also has prebiotic properties that may support gut health.

Can I take stingless bee honey if I am on medication?

Honey is generally considered safe for most adults. However, if you are on prescription medication or have a specific medical condition, we recommend consulting your doctor before adding any new supplement or natural product to your routine, including stingless bee honey.

Can children eat bbn honey?

bbn honey is safe for children above 2 years of age. Honey of any kind — including stingless bee honey — should not be given to infants under 12 months, as their digestive systems are not yet fully developed.

Can I feed honey to my infant (under 6 or 12 months)?

No. Honey should not be given to any infant under 12 months of age. As with all raw, unprocessed foods, honey is not recommended for infants whose digestive systems are not yet fully developed. This applies to all types of honey, including stingless bee honey.

Can I consume honey during pregnancy?

Honey is considered safe for healthy adults, including pregnant women. You may enjoy honey as part of a balanced diet. However, as with any supplement, consult your doctor or gynaecologist if you have any concerns. Honey should be kept away from infants under 1 year of age.

Is stingless bee honey vegan?

Honey is produced by bees and is generally not considered vegan. If you follow a strict vegan diet, you may wish to research this further. bbn honey does not contain any animal-derived additives beyond honey itself.

Usage & Storage

What is the recommended daily serving of bbn honey?

We recommend 1–2 teaspoons (approximately 7–14g) per day for general wellness. You may take it straight from the spoon, mixed into warm (not hot) water, or drizzled over food. Consistent daily use delivers the best results.

Can I mix bbn honey into hot drinks or tea?

We recommend mixing our honey into warm water or beverages rather than boiling-hot liquids. Excessive heat (above 40°C) can degrade the natural enzymes, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds in raw honey, reducing its nutritional value.

Can I use bbn honey in cooking or baking?

You can use our honey as a natural sweetener in cooking and baking, though the high-heat cooking process will degrade some of its bioactive properties. For maximum wellness benefits, we recommend consuming it raw — taken directly by the spoon or stirred into warm beverages.

How should I store my bbn honey?

Store your honey at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not refrigerate — cold temperatures can cause honey to crystallise or thicken. Always use a clean, dry spoon to prevent contamination.

Why has my honey crystallised or changed texture?

Crystallisation is a natural process in raw honey and does not indicate spoilage. It occurs when glucose in the honey solidifies over time, especially in cooler conditions. To restore a liquid consistency, gently warm the jar in a bowl of warm (not hot) water. Do not microwave.

What is the shelf life of bbn honey?

Our honey has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture, as stated on the label. Raw honey is naturally antimicrobial and, when stored correctly, has an exceptionally long shelf life.

Our Products

What products does bbn offer?

bbn currently offers two flagship stingless bee honey products: Griffin Gold (TA25+), a premium-grade honey suited for daily wellness, immunity, and gut health; and Unicorn Elixir (TA35+), our highest-grade honey with exceptional antimicrobial potency, ideal for therapeutic use, anti-ageing, and enhanced immune support. We also offer bundle sets for those who would like to try both.

What is the difference between Griffin Gold TA25+ and Unicorn Elixir TA35+?

Both are premium raw stingless bee honeys. The key difference is their TA (Total Activity) rating, which measures antimicrobial strength. Griffin Gold is rated TA25+, while Unicorn Elixir is rated TA35+, making it the more potent option. Unicorn Elixir is particularly suited for those seeking stronger therapeutic support — such as for immunity, anti-ageing, or recovery — while Griffin Gold is an excellent choice for daily wellness and maintenance.
