Wee Bee Naturally Raw Honey -- 1 lb Each

I used to order the YS brand until I saw some converts to this one. The YS brand is fantastic. It's lighter and more floral (and waxier) than this one. But I do recommend that one for feeling like you're drinking a cup of honey and flowers.But this is my new favorite. It's soft, amazing that you get bits of the hive in the top (people include the hive in face lifting & tightening serums -- I wish this company would consider cosmetic lotions but I'm sure you Do It Yourself types can get benefits using this as an occasional face mask)I love that it is organic, raw, delicious, easy to put in your drinks, coffee or whatever. Once you've learned about the health benefits of real honey and compared it to the pure, unsafe, sugar filled fake garbage the regular supermarket peddles you'll toss your "Honey Bear" brands and never go back.Bottom line if you're a customer. This is the best tasting most "honey-like" brand of organic honey I've ever had. Hands down it's the best tasting honey I've ever enjoyed. I love that it's not pasteurized because no health benefits are lost, although I'm not a raw foodist, there are certain foods better without heat damage and I'm thrilled to have that added benefit here. I use it WITH glycemic health issues (just sticking to a tablespoon a day in beverages) so I recommend it as a sugar alternative. It's perfect for making your tonics and health teas sweet without any dangerous sugar or chemicals. I haven't tried it yet for face masks but I'd recommend it because it's the only brand I know of that includes bits of the hive known for holding up and tightening skin .Bottom line to the company making this gem: Please never stop producing this product at a price people can actually afford. I enjoy it and love your work. Also ... I'd LOVE to see you make a skin tightening serum out of the propolis from the hives. At any rate 5 stars for this great find. Amazon is the greatest for giving us access to smaller, natural companies at affordable prices.

I use raw honey as a second "cleanse" after an oil cleanse, when I haven't been wearing makeup, since even the most gentle soap can dry out my skin if used too often. I was using "Really Raw Honey", but after the price increased I decided to give this one a try. This doesn't have quite the amount, or size, of propolis and pollen, but there's still enough to be considered a gentle daily exfoliator and the price makes it a better option for my uses. Since most people don't buy honey to wash their face I should mention that the flavour is very sweet and delicious. We have a beekeeper less than 1/4 mile from us so that's the honey we use for consumption, but if you don't have access to local honey this is a great option. All the pollen, propolis, enzymes, and antioxidants left in this honey makes it a better alternative to the high heated, filtered, and/or strained honey you usually find at the grocery store. If price isn't an issue I would have to recommend the "Really Raw Honey" brand over this one simply because of the amount of pollen and propolis you get in it, but if you're on a budget you won't regret trying this one and won't be disappointed.

I love this honey! I don't know why the health food stores near me no longer carry it. It is delicious and tests best for me energetically. If I wake in the night hungry, a small teaspoon takes care of me and I can fall back asleep. I have no discernible blood sugar issues with it. I have no fear that it is heated or adulterated. If you want a honey that pours without warming, I wouldn't use this one, but it works just fine in a blender or, just eaten from a spoon or stirred into food. It loses some of its raw benefits if heated, but I love it in my thyme tea anyway.Update: My recent bottles do have the issues some are reporting here (Feb. 2025). They are usually full to the top with a nice even layer of pollen on top but the ones I just got are different (photos attached). So I think something has happened to them. They still test strong for me so I don't think they have been heated to ruin the enzymes and I am using them, but I hope whatever is going on is corrected.

I originally discovered my 1st jar of Wee Bee Raw Honey at Marshall's Dept Store. It was $7.99 for a 1lb jar which is a great price. I found it on Amazon for $12.71 (prime), however I see Amazon has now raised the price to $16.79 for a 1lb jar!!! The only problem is you will keep eating it until it is gone & at 60 calories a tablespoon you must maintain control. If you are used to store bought processed honey (like the honey in the bear), this is totally different. It is raw with all the benefits that you don't get with processed honey. Raw honey is thicker, creamier, with a slightly gritty texture. There are small pieces of propolis (a waxy textured), on the top of the jar. This is normal & is very good for you. If you choose, you can scrape it off. I recently went to my daughter-in-laws & tried her Y.S. Organic raw honey & it was not nearly as good. I had read the reviews for it so I guess those who reviewed Y.S. have never tried Wee Bee! It comes in a glass jar which is rare because most sellers use plastic. They pack the shipment very well & I have never received a broken one, however, if you do, just contact Amazon & they will fix the problem. This honey is the BEST there is on the market, try it, you won't be disappointed! Sometimes you have to experiment for yourself and buy a few different brands to see how much quality can vary. But once you do, you will realize why Wee Bee can charge what they do. If you are a foodie like me, then paying a bit more for a SUPERIOR quality product is worth EVERY penny. I read a few negative reviews that said they received a jar with mold in it. This is impossible because honey has NO Expiration date so they may be mistaking the wax/propolis on the top for mold.

Not bad, not as sweet as regular honey. I assume they ground up the hive with the honey. It’s lighter in color than regular honey.
