This is not ordinary honey, it's a whole ecosystem

Our Story

Local, Delicious & Organic

From the crown of the acacia and from endless sunflower fields, Bee Loved Honey serves you a smooth, organic & unprocessed ambrosia, rich in its original vitamins, antioxidants, enzymes and minerals. Our honey is cultivated by a variety of beekeepers and previously disadvantaged small scale farmers from all over South Africa.

This is not just ordinary honey, it comes infused with a true African story of restoration, economic empowerment and environmental renewal. We have launched a campaign to manufacture one million beehives by 2025 and distribute them across the continent to repopulate honeybee colonies and stimulate economies.
So this is really not just a bottle of honey, it's an ecosystem. 

One Million Beehives

Our founder, Lesego Holzapfel, is committed to addressing the collapse of the honey bee population in Africa through the implementation of on the ground solutions to restore and protect honey bee populations.

Our planet's food security is largely dependent on an abundance of natural pollinators; including honey bees, birds, and other insects, but honey bee colonies worldwide have been declining at an alarming rate.

This commitment seeks to address issues related to dwindling honey bee populations by allowing individuals to buy beehives in order to replenish honey bee populations and training small scale rural farmers to become beekeepers.

Each of these will promote growth in honey bee populations and provide a mechanism for sustaining healthy honey bee colonies.

This commitment is an important step in restoring vital honey bee populations and ensuring sustainable crop yields; a critical need for global food security.

OUR MISSION

Our Empowerment Mission

Bee Loved Honey is a Bokamoso Brand.
Our misson is to bring the delights and health-benefits of high-quality honey to the world.

At the heart of everything we do is the question "How does our work empower the disadvantaged? We know our product will taste good, but will it do good as well?"

We are an advocate of creative choices, healthy living, and the power of community. We infuse these values in all that we do to create a sustainable model for increasing household income across SADC, while addressing social and environmental challenges and a decline in honey bees in the continent.
