The rich and intense fruitiness of Pitcairn's honey is attributed to the necter from the Mango, Lata, Passion Flower, Guava and Roseapple flowers found in abundance on the lush tropical South Pacific Island of Pitcairn, home to the descendants of the "Bounty' mutineers.

Pitcairn Island Propolis comes from unique trees on the island that use resins to protect their young buds. Pitcairn Honey bees gather and carry these tree resins to their hives where they make propolis. The Honey Bees use the Propolis to seal and sterilize hives, protecting them from bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Pitcairn Island Beekeepers recognize the beneficial effects of Propolis. They collect this clean fresh substance and dissolve it in alcohol beverages so as to extract the good natural immune supporting properties held within the honey bee Propolis.
The Pitcairn Island beekeepers let the solution mature over many weeks and then filter the liquid to produce a very rare and exclusive Propolis Tincture.
