DevBhumi Honey

Apis cerana is the native bee species of Uttranchal being reared by local people from ancient times. Uttranchal hills are peculiar for its richness in floral biodiversity including a variety of medicinal and aromatic plants in addition to cultivated agricultural crops. Apis cerana collects nectar from flowers of all these plants to prepare honey with added medicinal properties.

Further, this area is completely free from any kind of chemical pollution, as the agricultural practices are completely organic. Thus the honey produced is completely free from any kind of chemical contamination unlike other agriculturally developed areas where agro-chemicals are used in large quantities. This honey has already been certified as Organic by SGS (Societe Generale de Survillance) an International certifying agency for organic foods. DMPL is providing technical inputs to the community to enhance production and productivity through eco-friendly means to get organic produce. Consequently, Devbhumi honey is superior to all other types of honey produced by other bee species in other parts of the country.
