Our Story

From the Mountains of Jordan

قصة منحل الخطيب — من جبال الأردن إلى مائدتك

🏔️🐝🍯

Ajloun, Jordan · 2015

Every journey begins with a step — ours began with a single hive…

In 2015, our journey started far from the world of computers and programming — as a hobby and nothing more. As the days passed, our apiary began to grow and develop, and alongside the apiary grew our love for this passion.

What began as a personal hobby gradually became a family affair. I taught my wife and all my children this craft — both the science and the hands-on practice. And within us grew the values of patience, generosity, and teamwork that the bees themselves taught us.

By the grace of Allah, our apiaries have since spread across all regions of the Kingdom, so that we may bring you every variety of fine Jordanian honey.

Our Locations

Our Bee Yards

Each location produces a distinctly different honey — a true reflection of its unique flora, altitude, and microclimate.

🏔️

Northern Highlands

Wildflower meadows at 800–1,200 m elevation. Home to our Wild Flora and Centaurea varieties. The rich biodiversity here means each jar carries aromatic, delicious, distinctive flavours that change season to season.

🌿

Jordan Mountain Foothills

Eucalyptus, acacia, and mountain thorn trees line the quiet slopes of Jordan's highlands. The warm, humid microclimate produces our signature Eucalyptus Honey with its distinctive mentholated character and warm amber hue.

🌳

Southern Lowlands

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.

🌼

Seasonal Rotation Strategy

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

Our Commitment to Honesty

Every jar of Alkhateeb honey is a promise — that what you're tasting is exactly what the bees made, nothing more and nothing less.

Lab-Tested

Tested at the Royal Scientific Society

You don't have to take our word for it. We sent a sample of our honey to the Chemical Sciences Laboratories at Jordan's Royal Scientific Society — and every result met the Jordanian Standard for honey.

Test report issued 17 August 2026 (in Arabic)
✓ Compliant with Jordanian Standard JS 122/2007 Natural bee honey
Freshness Indicator (HMF)
Rises when honey is heated or stored too long. Ours is about ten times below the limit — a sign of fresh, unheated honey.
4.20

✓ Pass
Free Acidity
Reveals fermentation or spoilage. Ours sits well within the normal range for sound honey.
10.52
meq/kg · limit ≤ 50
✓ Pass
Sucrose Content
High levels point to added sugar or sugar-fed bees. No sucrose was detected in our sample (detection limit 0.70%).
Not detected

Glucose + Fructose
The natural sugars bees make from flower nectar — a high level marks real, fully ripened honey.

Taste the Difference

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.
