20 ml | Sacred Honey of the Maya

Harvested from the precious Melipona bee (Xunán Kab), this rare honey has been treasured by the Maya for thousands of years. These gentle native bees are famous for being stingless, making them unique among the world’s honey bees. Their honey is produced only in small quantities, making it one of the rarest and most valued honeys on Earth.

More than a food, Melipona honey has long been considered a sacred ally by Maya healers, who traditionally used it to support the eyes, ears, skin, and overall wellbeing. Its use as an eye wash has been lovingly passed from generation to generation and continues today in many Maya communities.

Traditional Eye Cleansing

In the Maya tradition, one drop is placed into each eye as part of a cleansing ritual.

A brief stinging sensation may be felt for less than a minute, followed by natural tearing as the eyes cleanse themselves. Traditionally, people simply close their eyes, allow the tears to flow, and avoid rubbing them until the sensation passes.

Many describe the experience as leaving the eyes feeling refreshed and clear.

A Living Tradition

Modern research has found that stingless bee honey contains antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory compounds, and scientists are exploring its potential for supporting eye health. However, more clinical research is still needed before specific medical benefits can be confirmed.

A precious gift from the Melipona bee, carrying the wisdom of the forest and the living traditions of the Maya.
