BuzzingSuccess: Kumily's Honey Tourism Phenomenon
Unlocking the Secrets of the High Ranges: Philip's Natural Honey Venture
Nestled in the high ranges of Kerala, Philip's Natural Honey in Kumily, Idukki, is not just a business—it's a celebration of nature's sweet bounty. Philip Mathew, also known as 'Theneecha Philip' locally, has transformed his passion for beekeeping into a buzzing success. With approximately 6,000 bee colonies, Philip's venture collects and sells half a lakh litres of honey annually, harvested from the rich wildflowers of the high ranges.
The Journey from Beekeeping to Honey Tourism
What started as a venture selling medicinal honey has evolved into a unique honey tourism experience. Philip's bee farm, housing hundreds of thousands of diligent worker bees, has become a sought-after attraction for tourists heading to Kumily and Thekkady. Visitors not only have the opportunity to purchase honey but also witness the fascinating stages of honey production. The farm visits, facilitated by Philip's son Tom and daughter-in-law Maria, are not only educational but free for tourists.
Exploring the Medicinal Wonders: Wildflowers and Beyond
Philip attributes the success of his honey to the hardworking bees and the abundance of wildflowers in the high ranges. His honey, enriched with the essence of these wildflowers, is deemed more medicinal. To meet the growing demand and tap into tourism potential, Philip's venture provides facilities for foreign travelers to have their purchased honey couriered worldwide, extending the reach of Kumily's honey to almost every corner of the globe.
Beekeeping Education and Collaboration
Beyond honey production, Philip is committed to sharing his expertise. He places bee boxes in about 30 farms, offering training in beekeeping and supplying colonies, boxes, and extraction equipment to enthusiasts. His outreach extends to those interested in setting up bee boxes in their farms, and Philip is open to buying honey from fellow beekeepers.
