The Maasai tribes collect the honey themselves. Most tribes have experienced honey collectors, as they have collected honey for their own use for generations. They hang hollowed-out logs in trees for the bees to build hives in and use dried cow dung in a tin smoker to calm the bees before collection. Honey is usually collected twice each year.

We pay $100 to $125 per 20-liter bucket (about five gallons) of honey upon collection, which is significantly more than local wholesalers pay. We also supply the tribes with the buckets and pay for transportation of the honey to our warehouse.

We completed our first collection of thousands of liters of honey in November 2025 and as of April 2026, the honey is in transit to Texas by sea. Due to the current instability of international shipping, we do not have a firm arrival date. However, when the honey arrives, we will be ready to package it for immediate sale and distribution.

Maasai honey will be available for purchase from RevelationMedia through a future online store dedicated to Mission Honey. We do not currently have plans to sell honey from the Maasai through other retailers. Currently, Maasai honey is only available in 14-ounce jars, but we may expand to offer sample-sized two-ounce jars or bulk purchasing options after the first round of sales.

Maasai honey will be available in three distinct flavors for purchase. If you reserved a jar of honey through this page, you will also be able to choose your flavor before it is shipped to you.

The Maasai tribes benefit from the sale of their honey twofold: They are paid immediately upon the collection of their honey, which gives them the funds to send their children to school and to fix their school buildings. Once the honey is sold in the US, RevelationMedia will use a portion of the profits to translate more iBIBLE content into the Maasai language and send it along with more iBIBLE tablets to pastors and missionaries working among the tribes for evangelism and discipleship.

One hundred percent of the profits from Maasai honey sales will go toward RevelationMedia’s ministry. A portion of these profits will be directly reinvested in the Maasai tribes as we translate and produce more iBIBLE content in the Maasai language and send more solar-powered iBIBLE tablet kits to pastors and missionaries there. The rest will support other aspects of RevelationMedia’s ministry where it is most needed, such as iBIBLE production.

Yes, the honey is collected from the wild without the use of pesticides or other chemicals. It is certified organic within Kenya, but cannot be certified organic in the United States due to USDA regulations.

The Maasai use a “crush and screen” process to separate the honey from the honeycomb. Then, once it has been transported to our warehouse in Kenya, it is filtered to remove impurities and inspected by Kenyan authorities before it is shipped to the US. When it arrives at the RevelationMedia office in Richardson, Texas, it will go through one final stage of filtering. None of these stages use fine filtering, and the honey is still considered “unfiltered.”

We want the Maasai honey partnership to be an integrated part of our larger mission to bring the Gospel to every tribe, people, and nation on the planet. This is the basis for the name "Mission Honey," as we see our partnership with the Maasai as a way to help fulfill the Great Commission.

We believe that by reinvesting funds earned from the sale of Maasai honey back into their tribes, this will become a self-sustaining part of RevelationMedia’s ministry. If it goes well with the Maasai tribes, we also hope to expand the ministry of Mission Honey to other tribes in other African countries. 

If we find that the honey sales are taking too much time and resources away from our core RevelationMedia and iBIBLE ministries, however, we will either stop the program or turn it over to another organization. We don’t want Mission Honey to be a distraction from the mission of RevelationMedia, but rather an enhancement on the path of the Great Commission.
