OUR HONEY
Honey from Yucatán is renown worldwide for its high quality. The tajonal and ts’its’ilche’ flowers are primary sources of pollen for the bees. The Centro de Investigación Científica de Yucatán (CICY) attributes the high quality of the region’s honey, in part, to its extensive biodiversity and considers all honey to be of the multifloral variety, even with higher concentrations of certain varieties. Honey production in Yucatán occurs in three phases, according to the CICY.
