The Mayans Heritage
Stingless Bee Honey
Raw & Unfiltered
A Gift from the Jimerito Bees
Ancient Mayan knowledge from the tetragonisca angustula Melipona bees - Wild harvested Jimerito from Honduran forests.
Forestal MT's Stingless Bee Honey Collection preserves one of Mesoamerica's most revered ancestral treasures: the honey of Tetragonisca angustula, traditionally called the jimerito bee or ko'olel kaab (“royal lady”) in Mayan culture.
For over 3,000 years, Mayan civilizations honored these tiny stingless bees as living symbols of the sun's spirit, forest vitality, and divine healing power. Their honey was sacred currency, ceremonial medicine, and sustenance—central to spiritual rituals, traditional healthcare, and economic life across the Yucatán Peninsula and Central American forests.
Today, modern apiculture and agricultural intensification threaten stingless bee populations. Forestal MT partners with indigenous beekeepers who maintain traditional log hives (jobones) inside native forests and biodiverse landscapes, safeguarding both pollinators and cultural lineage.
