Certified Organic Honey in bulk
Organic honey is a documentation product as much as an agricultural one. Our certified apiaries sit inside protected forest and nature-reserve land in Heilongjiang, Jilin and the Qinling range, where the 3 km foraging radius contains no conventional cropping, no treated seed and no aerial spray programme. Hive materials, wax foundation and any veterinary treatment are all controlled under the standard.
Certification is held under EU Regulation 2018/848 and USDA NOP, audited annually by an accredited third-party body, with unbroken chain-of-custody from hive to drum to container. Every shipment leaves with its organic transaction certificate, and lots are segregated in dedicated tanks and dedicated pumping lines so there is no contact with conventional stock.
Available as organic acacia, organic linden and organic wildflower. Volumes are finite and allocated against annual contracts.

| Format | Description | Container loading |
|---|---|---|
| 300 kg steel drum | New, food-grade lacquer-lined steel drum with a polyethylene liner. | 80 drums per 20′ FCL — 24.0 MT net |
| 25 kg HDPE pail | Food-grade white HDPE pail, tamper-evident lid, palletised and stretch-wrapped. | 800 pails per 20′ FCL — 20.0 MT net |
| 1,000 L IBC tote | Food-grade IBC with a bottom discharge valve, for high-throughput packers. | 18 totes per 20′ FCL — 21.6 MT net |
| Flexitank | Single-use food-grade flexitank for the lowest cost per tonne on liquid grades. | 1 flexitank per 20′ FCL — 22.0 MT net |
| Retail OEM packing | 250 g / 500 g / 1 kg glass jars, squeeze bottles, sachets and stick packs under your label. | Configured to your artwork and carton spec |
Drums are shipped upright and strapped; liquid grades are pumped at controlled temperature to protect HMF and diastase. Reefer or insulated-liner shipment is available for long transits through the tropics.
Related varieties
Acacia Honey
Our highest-volume export variety. Harvested from black locust forests along the Yellow River basin, acacia honey stays liquid and clear for 18–24 months, which makes it the default choice for glass-jar retail packing and squeeze bottles.
Vitex Honey
Also sold as chastetree honey. A bright amber, fully-ripened honey from the mountain scrub of northern China, and the workhorse of the bulk trade: consistent supply, consistent spec, competitive landed cost.
Linden Honey
Harvested from the wild Tilia forests of the Changbai and Lesser Khingan ranges — a protected, low-input environment that yields an unusually aromatic honey with strong demand across Eastern Europe and the CIS.
