Bulk honey, sourced at origin.
Shipped by the container.
GoldenComb supplies importers, private-label packers and food manufacturers with monofloral and certified organic honey from a contracted network of 2,400 Chinese apiaries — under one written specification, batch after batch.
Audited & certified
Acacia honey — the export benchmark
Harvested from black locust forests along the Yellow River in a bloom that lasts barely two weeks. Near-water-white, mild, and slow to crystallise, which is why it dominates glass-jar retail packing worldwide.

Nine monofloral and polyfloral varieties plus a certified organic programme. Every one of them ships against a written contract spec with a batch certificate of analysis.
Bulk honey is a trust business
Anyone can quote you a price per tonne. What decides whether the next twenty containers go the same way is what happens between the hive and the bill of lading.
Traceable to the apiary
Every drum carries a lot number that resolves to a named beekeeper, a GPS-located apiary and a harvest date. Not a province — an apiary.
Our own laboratory
HPLC, GC-MS-MS and LC-MS-MS in-house. Incoming lots are screened before purchase, not after — which is why we reject roughly 12 % of what we are offered.
Documentation that clears
Health certificates, certificates of origin, FTA preference forms and organic transaction certificates prepared in-house. We know what your customs broker will ask for.
Five packing formats
300 kg drums, 25 kg pails, IBC totes, flexitanks, or finished retail jars under your own label from our OEM line.
Price you can plan around
We contract apiary output before the flow starts. That lets us hold fixed pricing for the full season instead of repricing you every shipment.
One person, start to finish
A named account manager owns your file from first sample to arrival claim. No handoffs between a sales desk and a shipping desk.
From enquiry to container
A first-time order typically takes five to seven weeks from enquiry to vessel departure. Repeat orders on an existing spec run in 15 to 25 days.
Enquiry & quotation
You send variety, annual volume, packing and destination. We return FOB and CIF pricing with the current specification.
Samples
500 g of the exact lot, couriered within 48 hours. Larger pre-production samples for line trials on request.
Your lab approval
You test at your end. We hold the lot against your approval and share our own certificate of analysis for comparison.
Contract & deposit
Sales contract with the agreed specification annexed. 30 % T/T deposit, or an L/C at sight.
Production & QC
Blending, filtration to 200 µm, controlled-temperature handling, then batch release testing before drumming.
Pre-shipment inspection
Your inspector or ours — SGS, Intertek and Bureau Veritas are all welcome on site.
Loading & documents
Container loading photographed drum by drum. Full document set couriered and emailed within 3 days of sailing.
After arrival
Retained reference samples are kept for the full 24-month shelf life, so any query can be checked against what you approved.
We reject honey so you don't have to
Adulteration and antibiotic residues are the two things that will cost you a container. Both are caught before we buy, not after we ship. Every incoming lot is screened at our Hangzhou laboratory, and nothing enters a tank until it passes.
