Our honey-filled journey
Hi there 👋 I'm Javier Elias García , the proud founder of RARE BEEHIVE. I'm so excited to share more about the brand with you. Here, we combine the best of health and wellness with life's sweetest moments.
Picture this: An ex-professional soccer player, a university student-athlete, a half marathon runner, and a gym enthusiast—that's me. But I always hungered for something more beyond victories on the field. I wanted to be in my healthiest prime—to fuel my mind, body, and spirit with the very best. This desire led me to create RARE BEEHIVE.

The magic of Mānuka honey
While pursuing peak performance and vitality, honey emerged as a golden elixir of nourishment and delight. When I found the exquisite rarity known as Mānuka honey, it was like discovering liquid gold. Its unique qualities among all sweeteners made me fall in love with it, and I wanted to share its wonders with everyone.
While local honey is just okay. If you want to give your body the best, Mānuka honey stands out because of its non-peroxide antibacterial activity, quality, and exclusive origin (New Zealand). Also, its bioactive compounds— MGO, DHA, HMF, and Leptosperin —create a potent elixir exceptional for fighting germs, reducing swelling, and maintaining health. These antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and prebiotic properties are unique to Mānuka honey variety.
Yes, our organic Mānuka honey is raw, unfiltered, and unpasteurized. This means it keeps all its natural enzymes, antioxidants, phytonutrients, and other good stuff. We believe in going all in transparency mode with you, so here’s more about our process: after harvesting, we ensure the raw honey never goes above 95°F (which is the internal temperature of a healthy beehive) in any part of the process, during extraction, straining, jarring, and storing, so rest assured there’s no pasteurization at any time. Filtering honey usually means heating it to make it more liquid, but that would mean it isn’t raw anymore. We use a 200-micron strainer to remove bee parts and large wax pieces while keeping the pollen, propolis, and all the micro-nutrients.

From the hive to your home, we uphold the highest standards of integrity and transparency, ensuring that every drizzle brings you closer to a healthier, happier you.
This misconception has been spread over the years, but the truth is that honey crystallization is normal. In fact, genuine raw honey will crystallize due to glucose; bits of pollen in raw honey provide an excellent substrate to encourage crystallization.
Yes! Many people, including vegans, avoid honey because some companies don't care about bees. At RARE BEEHIVE , we are proud to get our Mānuka honey from New Zealand in a way that keeps our bees happy and healthy throughout their lifespan. We love our bees! They are the true stars. 🐝❤️

Methylglyoxal (MGO) is the distinctive naturally occurring antibacterial compound in Mānuka honey. A higher MGO value indicates increased antibacterial activity and higher levels of other actives like DHA (Dihydroxyacetone), HMF (Hydroxymethylfurfural), and Leptosperin, beneficial compounds in Mānuka honey. In simple terms, the higher the MGO grade , the more potent the honey is.
