Where does Lush purchase Fair Trade organic honey?

This honey comes from Casa Apis, a cooperative in Brazil comprising 28 communities. Bees’ welfare is at the heart of their practice, and the cooperative sees beekeeping as a communion with nature, a way to have better lives while helping to increase the bee population and promote land regeneration. Read more about the practices of Casa Apis here, how they care for bees and their habitat. 

Animal Welfare

At Lush, we agree that the modern honey industry treats bees like farmed animals. To ensure their welfare is respected in our supply chain, we work with beekeepers who understand the importance of managing hives with consideration and of working in a minimally invasive way. We do not allow the use of harmful practices such as queen wing clipping or artificial rearing.

Where possible, we aim to work directly with beekeepers, but in any case, we ask for full traceability and adherence to our high standards. We actively encourage and select those who go beyond organic beekeeping and implement regenerative practices that positively impact local wildlife and the hives’ environment.
