Our Story
قصة منحل الخطيب — من جبال الأردن إلى مائدتك
Ajloun, Jordan · 1985
In 1985, our grandfather — Abu Khaled Al-Khateeb — first placed a small number of traditional hive boxes in the wildflower meadows above Ajloun, in the pine-forested highlands of northern Jordan. The mountains were clean, the air was crisp, and the wildflowers were untouched. He had found his calling.
What started as a personal passion — tending a handful of hives in the evenings after work — gradually grew into a full family tradition. His son, and then his grandchildren, each took on the hives with the same care and patience that he had taught.
Today, three generations of the Alkhateeb family maintain bee yards across Jordan's most biodiverse highland regions, producing a small, carefully managed harvest each year. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is scaled beyond what the land can give honestly.
Our Locations
Each location produces a distinctly different honey — a true reflection of its unique flora, altitude, and microclimate.
Pine, oak, and wild flora meadows at 800–1,200 m elevation. Home to our Wild Flora and Centaurea varieties. The rich biodiversity here means each jar carries complex, layered flavours that change subtly season to season.
Sheltered eucalyptus groves line the Jordan Valley's gentle slopes. The warm, humid microclimate produces our bold, herbal Eucalyptus Honey with its distinctive mentholated character and warm amber hue.
The ancient sidr (jujube) trees of Jordan's southern lowlands yield our rarest harvest. Revered since antiquity, Sidr Honey from this region is deeply aromatic, thick, and exceptional in quality. We produce very limited quantities each year.
We rotate hive placements to follow each plant's flowering peak — moving hives so bees forage only from the target bloom during its prime. This is what makes our honey genuinely single-source, not just labelled that way.
Our Promise
Every jar of Alkhateeb honey is a promise — that what you're tasting is exactly what the bees made, nothing more and nothing less.
The 2026 harvest is available now. Quantities are strictly limited to what our bee yards produce naturally each season — once a variety sells out, it's gone until next year.
