Kerala, India – Biju Thadathil Farm Honey is highlighting Cheruthen, commonly known as Stingless Bee Honey, as part of its collection of distinctive honey varieties associated with Kerala's traditional beekeeping practices.

Cheruthen is produced by stingless bees and has long been known in Kerala as a specialty honey variety. Unlike conventional honey produced by larger honeybee species, stingless bee honey is generally collected in smaller quantities, making it a relatively limited and distinctive category within the honey market.

The characteristics of Cheruthen can vary depending on the bee species, floral sources, geographical environment, and seasonal conditions. It is often recognized for its distinctive taste and naturally different texture compared with conventional honey.

Kerala's tropical environment and plant diversity provide suitable conditions for different bee species and honey-producing traditions. Native beekeepers have maintained knowledge of stingless bee colonies and their management for generations.

Biju Thadathil Farm Honey sources Cheruthen through experienced beekeepers and includes the variety in its specialty honey collection available to consumers through its online platform.

"Kerala has a strong connection with traditional beekeeping, and Cheruthen represents one of the region's distinctive honey varieties," said a spokesperson for Biju Thadathil Farm Honey. "Providing information about its origin and characteristics helps consumers understand the diversity found within Indian honey."

Growing consumer interest in regionally distinctive foods has also increased attention toward traditional honey varieties. Cheruthen is increasingly being explored by consumers looking beyond conventional honey and seeking products connected with local beekeeping heritage.

The company said traceability and sourcing are important considerations for specialty honey because natural characteristics can vary between harvests and regions.

In addition to Cheruthen, Biju Thadathil Farm Honey offers Forest Honey, Black Forest Honey, monofloral varieties, Sidr Honey, and New Zealand Manuka Honey as part of its broader collection.

The availability of Cheruthen through eCommerce is helping make this traditional Kerala honey variety accessible to consumers in different parts of India.
