Wild mad honey produced by the giant Himalayan honey bee (Apis laboriosa), harvested from remote cliffside hives. Rare by nature, wild by origin, and unforgettable in every taste.
Mad honey is a rare red honey from the high cliffs of Nepal, made by the Himalayan giant honeybee (Apis laboriosa), the largest honeybee in the world. These bees build their hives on sheer rock faces deep in the Himalayan forests and feed on the nectar of wild rhododendron flowers. It is deep red-amber color and the gentle, relaxing effect that has made Himalayan mad honey famous for centuries.
Gurung honey hunters from the Lamjung and Kaski districts of Nepal climb handmade rope ladders up cliffs to harvest mad honey, cutting each comb by hand. There are only two harvests a year, spring and autumn, so every jar of Best Mad Honey from Nepal is rare, 100% pure red mad honey from the wild Himalayan mountains.
Our highest-reading harvest, cut from the least accessible cliffs at 13,500 to 14,000 ft. Deep reddish, bold and earthy, for people who already know how they respond to spring honey.
Cut at peak rhododendron bloom, this is the classic mad honey character at full strength. Rich, floral and reddish brown, and the jar most customers come back for.
The mildest of our three harvests, taken after the bloom has faded and the bees have worked a wider mix of flowers. Golden, smooth and gentle enough to learn how you respond.
Spring harvest honey at full strength in a pouch, enough for several half-teaspoon first doses before committing to a full jar.

Verified BuyerSo, what is mad honey? If you still have this question or are unsure which product to choose, we’ve got answers to your questions about its health benefits, effects, dosage, and what to expect.
Mad honey is also known as hallucination honey or wild honey in Nepal. The psychedelice honey is produced by giant Himalayan bees (Apis Laboriosa), which collects nectar from rhododendron flowers. When it blooms, its vibrant flowers attract bees, birds, and people alike. The nectar contains naturally occurring grayanotoxins, which give mad honey its distinctive effects and make it different from ordinary honey.
The benefits of mad honey have been valued for its natural antioxidant properties, energy-boosting effects, and potential digestive and anti-inflammatory benefits. It has also been used for supporting stamina and overall wellness.
Yes, mad honey can produce a “high” or intoxicating sensation when consumed because it contains grayanotoxins from rhododendron nectar. It depends on the honey’s potency and the amount consumed, some people may experience sensations such as dizziness, lightheadedness, relaxation, or altered perception. Mad Honey should be consumed responsibly and in moderation.
If you want to try pure mad honey from Nepal, start with ½ teaspoon of mad honey and choose a calm and peaceful environment where you can relax your body. Wait for 45–60 minutes to observe how your body responds. Consuming a high amount can make you sick, so do not consume it with alcohol, and do not consume more simply because you do not feel the effects immediately.
