The Power of Propolis

By Oronde McNish | Edited by Verl Johnson

In our five decades at Rockbrook, we have seen how the bees use propolis—a natural resin—to seal and protect the hive from infection. Our pesticide-free approach ensures this "bee glue" remains at its highest medicinal potency.

From the Article: Nourish Body Butter

We infuse our hand-harvested propolis and beeswax into our Nourish Body Butter to create a natural barrier for your skin.

Order via WhatsApp

Using clean products on your skin is just as important as the food you eat. Because we never use chemicals in our beekeeping, you can trust that our skincare is as pure as the foothills of St. Thomas.

Heritage & Harvest

The Role of Trees in Pesticide-Free Honey

Published: Jan 27, 2026 | Edited by Verl Johnson | Insights from Oronde McNish

In the foothills of St. Thomas, the relationship between the forest and the hive is sacred. As Oronde McNish explores in "Trees for Bees," a diverse ecosystem is the first line of defense against hive disease. Because we have practiced organic farming here for 50 years, our trees provide a clean, chemical-free forage area for our colonies.

This purity isn't just better for the environment; it results in honey and beeswax that are naturally more potent and "Family Protected".

Heritage & Harvest

50 Years of Pesticide-Free Heritage

By Oronde McNish | Edited by Verl Johnson

In 1976, long before "organic" became a global trend, Oronde McNish made a foundational commitment to beekeeping. Driven by a vision of "Family Protection," he established a sanctuary in the foothills of the Blue and John Crow Mountains where chemicals and synthetic pesticides have no place.

For five decades, this pesticide-free approach has defined the Makabee Enterprise legacy. By choosing the difficult path of traditional, chemical-free beekeeping, Oronde has ensured that every drop of honey and every gram of beeswax maintains its raw, medicinal potency. This 50-year history of organic farming isn't just a record—it is a blueprint for the future of Jamaican agriculture.

As documented in "Trees for Bees," co- author by Daniela Williams and Oronde McNish, the health of the hive depends on the health of the forest. By protecting the flora of St. Thomas from chemical exposure, we protect the bees, and in turn, we protect the families who use our products.
