About Balqees Honey

Balqees Honey, single-origin raw honey

Balqees Honey is a UK-based online shop dedicated to selling raw honey. Its catalogue is built around three pillars: single-origin honeys, fusions with other ingredients, and a selection of honeys from around the world. The company states that it works with beekeeping cooperatives and artisanal beekeepers in different countries to source unfiltered, unpasteurised honey that is laboratory tested.

Catalogue: single-origin honeys and fusions

Among the site's most notable products are Raw Yemeni Sidr Do'ani Honey, Raw Greek Sidr Honey and Raw New Zealand Clover Honey. The shop also sells fusions such as Raw Black Seed Honey Fusion, which combines honey with crushed black seed, and Raw Honey, Ginger and Turmeric Fusion, with ginger and turmeric. The catalogue is organised into collections: All Products (40 products), Honey Fusions (14), Honey of the World (8) and Yemeni Sidr Honey (3).

The company also offers a Welcome Bundle that brings together five of its bestselling honeys, from single-origin classics to infused fusions, designed as an introduction to the range. The site listed a price of £49.99 for this pack, compared with the reference price of £72.98.

Origin, traceability and production method

The company's proposition is based on traceability: single-origin honey is not blended or diluted, so consumers can know where it comes from. According to the website, the product retains natural enzymes and compounds that are lost when honey is heated and filtered, and it keeps a richer flavour than mass-produced honey.

Balqees states that its partner beekeepers use sustainable practices, avoid harmful chemicals, overharvesting and sugar substitutes, and prioritise bee health. The company maintains that this collaborative model helps support families in rural communities and preserve traditional beekeeping methods.

Shopping guided by wellness goals

The shop organises part of its range according to wellness goals: gut health, vitality and energy, mood, skin and beauty, immunity support and fertility or libido. For those who don't know what to choose, the site offers a quiz that guides them to the most suitable honey based on the customer's taste, lifestyle and wellness goals.

Educational content and podcast

Balqees maintains a section of articles on honey and wellness, with topics such as how honey keeps over time, restoring the skin barrier, eating raw honey at night, joint pain, Yemeni Sidr honey and asthma, the highest-quality honey varieties, producing countries and recipes such as date and raw honey granola or turmeric golden milk. The company also produces a podcast dedicated to wellness, tradition and food quality.

Shipping and guarantee

The site offers free shipping on orders over £45 and a 14-day money-back guarantee. The company states that it has more than 25,000 customers and displays verified reviews on its page.
