It begins in the canopy
In the deep forests of Chhattisgarh, Apis dorsata bees build wild hives high above the forest floor. Their honey carries the character of many medicinal blossoms, not a single cultivated crop.

The Van Basket point of view
Good honey should taste like somewhere.
Not like a factory. Not like a flavouring. Our wild forest honey is a living record of the landscape where it was gathered: floral, mineral, warm and beautifully changeable.
02
Harvested with restraint
Experienced local tribal communities read the forest, follow traditional methods and gather only what can be taken without compromising the hive. The forest remains the first customer.
