About us

Hanse Honig – honey with clear origin. Honest. Unblended.

Hanse Honig

Hanse Honig stands for premium honey straight from beekeepers.

For us, honey is more than a product — it’s a piece of nature you can taste.

We don’t blend our honeys. Each variety stays true to its character, bringing the taste of the plant, the region and the season directly into the jar.

Our mission

Help you find your favorite honey

Our goal is simple: we want you to find your favorite honey — not just any honey, but the one that truly fits you.

To offer this range, we work with small and mid-sized beekeepers who share our values: honest craft, respect for nature, and uncompromising quality.

Sustainability & responsibility

In harmony with nature and bees

Sustainability isn’t a trend for us — it’s part of our everyday work. Every decision is made with its ecological impact in mind.

With our own apiary and close partnerships, we actively support the protection of bees and their habitats.
