Ukhrul Honey Fed Producer Company

Our little group is called Ukhrul Honey Fed Producer Company and you can find us over at Hamleikhong. Tychicus Vashum is the one who helps keep things in order at his place. Up here in Ukhrul, the bees have plenty of wild flowers to work with, and that is basically what we focus on. We are not a factory or anything like that. It is just a collection of local folks who keep bees and want to sell the honey without getting cheated by middle men. The weather in Hamleikhong can be a bit chilly, which affects the bees, so we spend a lot of time talking about the hives and the health of the swarms. It is a quiet kind of work. You have to be patient with bees. We don't use any big fancy words to describe what we do. We just collect the honey, filter it, and get it into jars. Sometimes the harvest is big and sometimes it’s small, depending on the rain and the flowers that year. Our meetings are usually just us sitting around with a cup of tea talking about the latest news in the village and how the honey is tasting this season. It’s a very local operation. We all know each other and we all live nearby. If you want to know about our honey, you just have to ask around the neighborhood. We’re just trying to keep the bees happy and our families fed. It's a simple life but the honey is good and pure.
