Malai Then | Hill Honey

Description

🍯 Hill Honey (Malai Then) – Wild Nectar from the Cliffs

Raw. Rare. Real.
Introducing Hill Honey, locally known as Malai Then — a sacred gift from the forests, collected from the towering cliffs and dense jungles where Apis dorsata, the giant rock bee, makes its home. This honey is not farmed — it is wild-harvested, drop by drop, from single large combs built in nature’s untouched heights.

At Theneer, we partner with tribal communities who follow ancient, bee-friendly harvesting practices, ensuring that both honey and hives are respected, never exploited.

🐝 The Bee Behind the Honey
Apis dorsata is South Asia’s largest honeybee species. Fiercely protective of its colony, it builds massive, open-air combs on cliffs, treetops, and high ledges. These bees forage far and wide, collecting nectar from hundreds of wild forest flowers — resulting in a honey that is deep, powerful, and rich in natural medicine.
