By supporting Latina Honey, you are helping biodiversity

By eating Fairtrade honey from Latin America, more bees will be pollinating native plants. You will also be supporting farming communities and their families and their well-being, since they will be able to live off their work. You will encourage producers not to use pesticides, and to take care of the environment.

The end result of all this will be a rich, healthy and sustainable product. Many people will smile as much as you do when you taste our honey.

Latina Honey,

healthy for the planet,

healthy for you.

Bees are best known for their ability to produce honey. However, the main contribution of bees is linked to their great environmental value. Bees are sentinels of ecosystems and they favor the biodiversity of species.

Bees play a central role in the reproductive life of ecosystems and consequently in the survival of humanity. An increase in the death of bees is a clear indicator of the degradation of biodiversity.

Bees are the most valuable pollinators in the world. Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the male organs of a flower to the female organs. This process is essential for the production of many high-value crops, such as almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries and cherries, which depend almost entirely on the pollination that bees carry out. The intervention of pollinators creates the necessary conditions for the production of most of our food. The role of these small insects in agriculture is gigantic since one of every three bites of food that we eat depends on honey bees for pollination.

We, the producers want to invite you to reflect on what actions we can take to help protect bees. Consuming pure honey like LatinaHoney is an opportunity to take care of our bees and support the sustainable expansion of the beekeeping activity for the benefit of us all.
