Namaqualand Honey

Once a year, one of nature's greatest spectacles can be observed in the dry desert of Southern Namibia and Northwestern South Africa. The desert known by the name of Namaqualand.

When the short spring rains have arrived, this desolate landscape suddenly blooms and turns into a magnificent carpet of wild flowers, as far as the eye can see.

Our beekeepers have been waiting for the rains. Filled with joy upon the news, they scramble from the winter quarters, with their bee colonies, to Namaqualand to let the creatures feast on the unique, endemic wild flowers' nectar.

Once the hives are full of very special honey, the fluid is collected and bottled like a precious wine.

You can buy Namaqualand Honey - the most unique natural product on the planet - and present it as a luxury gift, to someone dear.

Each bottle carries the year of harvest and contains a booklet with dried samples of some of the brilliant flowers from the area from where the honey was collected.

It's all about the place, the date, and the very special relationship between man and nature. It's also about the strange, romantic cycle of death and rebirth, of barrenness and fertility.

The market for the product is tiny, but it definitely is a luxury market.
