Our story
Between LARI and the bees, it is a love story which started many years ago…
When he was just a little boy, Christian, our Director, was introduced to the world of bees for the first time through his uncle, Henry, who possessed some hives in his garden. Little did he know that these visits to the hives would trigger a passion in his nephew which would transcend time, and even distance. And be-cause destiny had to confirm its message, Michael Lafrance, a great man with a devouring passion for beekeeping, crossed Christian’s path. Today they are busi-ness partners and friends. Birds of a feather flock together they say !
In 2006, as an entrepreneur, Christian was faced with 2 options : either to pro-duce honey for local supermarkets or for the hospitality industry, where the cli-entele is a little more demanding . He chose the second option, which required special certifications since Chefs usually tend to favor noble products for their cuisine. And this is how the privileged relationship with Madagascar began…
Our team-members, both in Madagascar and Mauritius, are all proud to present LARI raw honey to you today…
We owe our success not only to the bees, but to the men and women, these arti-sans who give the best of themselves every single day by working behind the scenes. And at Laribees, true success is first and foremost the ability to bring happiness, which we strive to achieve on a daily basis, first through people, and secondly through our honey.
Bees, as you see, these little creatures ; sustain both nature and men through their millennial life cycle, which has remained unaltered for centuries.
