Is Humble Beeing honey certified organic?

The published UNBS reports are sample test reports, not organic certification. Ask us for current certification documentation before relying on an organic claim.

Can a lab report prove organic certification?

No. Certification and laboratory tests answer different questions. Check the certifier, scope, and validity dates of an organic certificate.

How can I buy responsibly made honey?

Choose transparent producers with traceability, testing, and clear handling standards.

Organic Honey in Uganda: What It Really Means

Straight talk from the apiary instead of marketing fog

The certification reality

Organic certification concerns production practices and the area where bees forage. A claim should identify the certifier, the products covered, and the certificate’s validity dates. The UNBS reports on our site are laboratory results for one sample; they are not organic certificates.

What to ask a producer

Certification: which body certified the product, and when does the certificate expire?
Forage: where are the apiaries, and how are neighbouring land uses assessed?
Testing: which samples and parameters were tested? Our published UNBS reports do not include pesticide residues.
Handling: how is honey extracted, stored, and kept separate from other lots?

How to fact-check “organic” claims

Ask to see the certificate itself, then check whether its product scope matches the jar you are buying. A test report can provide additional evidence for its listed parameters, but does not substitute for certification. Read our published sample reports for an example of that distinction.
