Bee Sweet Honey Jamaica is a Jamaica-based beekeeping, herbal education, and sustainability platform founded by Yanique White. The website shares practical, experience-based knowledge on beekeeping, raw honey, traditional Jamaican herbs, and everyday sustainable living.

This space was created to document real work in the field. From managing bees and harvesting hive products to exploring the traditional plant knowledge that has long supported Jamaican wellness practices.

WHO I AM

My name is Yanique White-Taylor. I am a Jamaican beekeeper, herbal educator, and co-founder of Bee Sweet Honey Jamaica.

My work is rooted in hands-on experience with bees, herbs, and natural product creation. Over time, I have developed a deep respect for the connection between pollinators, plants, food systems, and human well-being.

What began as personal interest grew into a committed practice of learning, building, and sharing knowledge around bees, natural living, and Jamaican plant traditions.

MY JOURNEY INTO BEEKEEPING

My journey into beekeeping began with curiosity and grew through formal training and lived experience.

In 2017, I attended training with MICAF, where I gained foundational knowledge in beekeeping practices. From there, my work expanded into practical hive management, honey production, and learning the seasonal rhythms of bees in Jamaica’s tropical environment.

Beekeeping has taught me patience, observation, and respect for natural systems. It is both a craft and a continuous learning process shaped by the land, the climate, and the bees themselves.

WHAT THIS PLATFORM IS ABOUT

Bee Sweet Honey Jamaica focuses on education and storytelling around:

• Beekeeping in Jamaica and tropical environments
• Raw honey and hive products such as propolis and beeswax
• Jamaican herbal knowledge and bush teas
• Sustainable living practices connected to nature
• Pollinator awareness and environmental balance

Each article is written to share practical insights, cultural knowledge, and real experiences from working with bees and plants.

HONEY, HERBS & SUSTAINABLE LIVING

Honey and herbs have long been part of Jamaican traditional wellness practices. This platform explores those connections in a grounded and educational way – focusing on how natural systems support both ecological balance and everyday living. From seasonal fruits and medicinal plants to bee-friendly gardening and hive products, the goal is to highlight how closely human life is connected to nature.

MY APPROACH

Everything shared on this website is based on:

• lived experience
• ongoing learning
• field practice in beekeeping
• exploration of Jamaican plant knowledge
• observation of natural systems

This is not a medical or clinical platform. It is an educational and experience-based space focused on sustainable living and natural awareness.

WHY THIS WORK MATTERS

Bees, plants, and natural ecosystems play a critical role in food security, biodiversity, and environmental balance.

By sharing knowledge about beekeeping, herbs, and sustainable practices, Bee Sweet Honey Jamaica aims to encourage greater awareness of how everyday choices connect to the health of the environment.
