At Yemen Sidr Inc we define ourselves not only as promoters of a unique product – raw premium Sidr honey, but also as supporters of Yemen and it's cultural background in beekeeping. Our story starts from the Sidr trees, which grow uncultivated in the desert areas of Yemen. The ancient Sidr tree has its roots spread throughout history and it is highly appreciated for its medicinal values. This is also one of the reasons why Yemeni Sidr Honey is considered one of the finest and healthiest honeys in the world. Its distinctive taste, high nutrition value and limited production gives it this reputation, along with the fact that bees have to travel several miles (maybe hundreds in round trip) to extract the nectar from the Sidr tree. Our product comes from rural, traditional beekeepers. No chemicals or drugs are used during the production process, unlike in modern agriculture, where chemicals and antibiotics are widely used to control mites and other bee diseases in the hives. No machinery used. All is done using simple tools, a little smoke from dried camel skins and knives. The honey is then poured, unheated and raw, into containers, thus preserving its vital live enzymatic constituents. Our Sidr honey always contains royal jelly because our beekeepers don't extract royal jelly from the harvested hives, and that's why it is sometimes called Royal Sidr honey, or Malika Sidr honey.
