Two resins. Two identities.
MAYDI supplies Somali frankincense in two distinct resins: Maydi and Beeyo. Their local and botanical names help distinguish what you are buying.
Beeyo — Boswellia carterii
The resin is also written Beyo, and the tree Mohor or Moxor. Boswellia carteri is treated by Kew as a synonym of Boswellia sacra, native to northern and north-eastern Somalia, southern Yemen and southwestern Oman. Beeyo is used as incense and in fragrance applications.
