The bee fossil record goes back 150 million years, when ancient honey bees, much like their contemporaries, helped pollinate the earth’s early plants, providing a legacy of the spectacular floral diversity we enjoy today.

Siamese Traders pure honey from wild flowers is an exceptional liquid sweetener and a delicious nutritional food.

It is a particularly popular food at breakfast, where a wholesome alternative energy source is always appreciated and where a third of Western consumers expect to find a honey pot.

What distinguishes honey from other popular sweeteners, such as white sugar, is partly a matter of perception; consumers see honey as a value-added natural product, a comfort food that adds flavor and texture to a dish. In addition, where sugar is manufactured by agro-business from chemically-fertilized cane, corn or beets in a highly polluting industrial process, honey is harvested by bee colonies foraging over acres of wild flowers. While collecting nectar and pollen for food, they also pollinate plants, thereby ensuring an abundance of food and other useful flora for the world’s inhabitants.
