Filtered Supermarket SyrupKilele Raw Nyeri Harvest

Clarity

SyrupHeat-filtered until it runs glass-clear, which strips out much of the flavour and aroma.

KileleLeft unfiltered, so the pollen and propolis stay in and it glows a natural cloudy gold.

Colour

SyrupPale and washed out, bleached in processing and often cut with sugar syrup.

KileleDeep amber that shifts with the season and the forage on the Mount Kenya slopes.

Thickness

SyrupThin and runny because it is thinned with sugar syrup, so it pours almost like water.

KileleThick and slow to drip, the natural body of raw honey straight from the comb.

Nyeri origin story

Between two mountains, one slow harvest

Our hives sit at the edges of indigenous forest in Nyeri County, in the strip of highland that runs between Mount Kenya and the Aberdares. The bees forage on wild flowers and native trees, and we keep the apiaries small enough that no single colony is overworked.

We harvest with a little smoke and a lot of patience. We leave the bees at least two thirds of every comb so they can feed through the cold months, and we never heat the honey to speed up the process.

Verified buyers

“We bought the whipped creamed honey first and now it is a weekly ritual. My kids finish a jar a week, and it is the only honey they will eat on toast without asking for jam.”

“The forest honey tastes like the forest it came from. You can tell it was cold-extracted and never heated. I also like that I can send the empty jar back for the credit.”

“I bought the propolis elixir for my throat during the dry season and it has become my first stop when I feel a cold coming on. It arrived in two days, which surprised me.”

Questions, answered

The things buyers ask us most, from purity and delivery to jar refills and paying with M-Pesa.

Still curious? Message us on WhatsApp
How can I verify the honey is pure?

Pure raw honey often crystallises within weeks, and that is a good sign, not a fault. Our honey contains no sugar syrup. Every jar carries a batch number so you can trace it to its apiary, and we will send a lab report for any batch on request.

How fast is delivery in Nyeri?

Orders placed before noon are delivered the same day within Nyeri Town, and delivery is free there.

How does delivery to Nairobi work?

Nairobi orders arrive in 1 to 2 days. Delivery is free on Nairobi orders over KES 3,000. Smaller orders carry a flat delivery fee shown at checkout.

Does the honey crystallise, and is that normal?

Yes. Raw honey that has not been heated crystallises naturally, and the texture stays good to eat. To return it to a smooth, runny state, stand the sealed jar in warm water for a few minutes. Avoid the microwave, since strong heat can damage the honey.

How do jar refills work?

Return your clean jars and receive KES 100 credit for each one. Hive Club members also get a monthly refill delivered on schedule. You can skip a month or cancel at any time.

How do I pay?

Choose M-Pesa Express at checkout, enter your phone number, and confirm the prompt on your phone. This is a preview, so no real payment is taken yet.
