For me, the morning is usually an annoying time, because I'm processing waking up, waiting for that first sip of coffee before I speak to anyone, and breakfast time is close by. The clock ticks, and before I know it I need to eat something. As someone who was never too keen on breakfast, I try to eat something just to stay energized, because I know how important both nutrition and energy really is for us humans. Breakfast is a bore to me, A. because it's the morning, and B. because it's not dinner (aka my favorite of the three meals!). Still however, I make sure to eat something, and that something must have flavor. I'm far from a kitchen magician, but for my next culinary trick, I'm going to use Beezy Beez Honey to make a breakfast that is worth the appetite! 

When I was a kid and going to elementary school every day, breakfast was routine and I had gotten used to it. I preferred frozen Eggo waffles and pancakes, and Lucky Charms- because what child wants to eat Raisin Bran? I remember a time when I was 7 and having breakfast on a Saturday morning before my family and I left for a trip to the zoo. I dropped a pancake on the floor, only for my dog to eat it whole, syrup included! That is a story I'll never stop telling, and it still makes me laugh whenever I think about that memory. 

This morning I plugged in my toaster and took out two slices of white bread to toast until the edges were crispy. I put the toast on a glass plate and sliced the two slices in half, giving me four slices to spread New York Raw Honey. I began to lather the toast with honey, and had a side of raspberries. Fresh fruit is so good to eat, even when you aren't 100% hungry. I know how refreshing it tastes, especially when mixed berries are topped upon a cup of plain tart yogurt. Maybe if you like, you can add some quinoa or granola as the finishing touches to your homemade parfait. A simple breakfast is a good breakfast. 

Incorporating size into making breakfast more appetizing has only made mornings easier, and because I am not breakfast's number one fan, I try to make the process of preparation quick and easy, finding foods that I will enjoy eating. I might eat small breakfasts, but I like to save seconds for when it's dinner time.

There is wide knowledge about the benefits of raw honey such as Beezy Beez, but there are many things you probably do not know about bees, honey, and the work bees do in between the production off honey. These Five Fun Facts will surprise you, as well as make great story time the next time you go out and buy a jar of honey.

1. Honey is a preservative. Yes, while the sweet golden liquid of nature is best known for healing wounds and being a nutritious snack, for many years honey has been used as a preservative to preserve the quality of fruits and other perishable items, keeping them fresh longer without the risk of food spoiling, as fruits and vegetables spoil quickly when not stored correctly.

2. Honey bees understand adapting to survive, and in the winter, the bees form in a cluster, and vibrate n unison to help each other survive. This allows them to form a safe spot for the Queen bee as well as the brood bees. They work together to protect one another from the harsh temperature of the Winter season.

3. Honey comes in a variety of flavors, in a wide range from sweet to spicy to floral to fruity, depending on the type of flowers visited by the bees.

4. Honey has an eternal shelf life because it is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture from surrounding air and retains it, aiding in preservation. Honey can outlast any other item in your pantry!

5. Bees are tiny, but very mighty! With their astonishing ability to travel at maximum, lengthy speeds, bees can travel for longer distances than one might assume. To produce one pound of honey, a colony would have to buzz and fly 55,000 miles!

These fun facts can create important conversations in a variety of settings, whether that be during a trip to the grocery store when buying honey, a coffee date with your best friend, or your group of students during afternoon story time. There is a lot to learn about bees and the things they do, and just how amazing they are at their job of making honey and maintaining a tidy environment. When you buy a jar of honey like Beezy Beez, you get the same liquid as in the store, but only Beezy Beez is raw and unprocessed, made with nature's help and free from the sugars and additives found in many over processed and commercialized brands of honey.

When you choose Beezy Beez, you get the same food product, just made with better ingredients! At our web store http://www.newyorkrawhoney.com/ you can purchase a jar of Beezy Beez, New York's finest Raw Honey, made special to perfection in New York City!

What is it that keeps New York Raw Honey in safe, secure corners? Look no further than the hexagonal, golden Honeycomb. The honeybees, persistent at their craft and expertise in keeping the hive a busy place of production, rely on the honeycomb to fulfill their purpose in nature. 

When it comes to making Beezy Beez Raw Honey, it is evident that there would be no such thing as Beezy Beez without huge help from the honeycomb. Keeping things in place such as measurement and angles, the honeycomb ensures that there is a place for honey to be secured before the packaging process begins. Honeycombs are made from beeswax, a natural wax made from bees, which they use to construct the honeycomb inside their hives. Bees make their beeswax by chewing on some of their already made honey, which is digested and transformed into wax. The beeswax has a liquid texture, but when excreted through the honey bee’s lower abdomen, the wax hardens as it hits the air. After forming scales, the bees chain together in a process called “festooning”-  to construct the honeycomb. Festooning helps the bees bridge any gaps in the comb, providing the bees and the honeycomb with a more durable structure. 

A sturdy honeycomb is a healthy environment, enabling the bees to thrive and produce honey while protecting their biological well-being. Because honey is a bee’s primary source of energy, they need an environment that will protect them and not disrupt their function. Without the proper atmosphere, the honeybee species can be at risk. 

Honeycombs are used for storage. A single hexagon inside a honeycomb is called a cell. Each cell has a small opening where honey and nutrients are stored. Sometimes, these cells are used to raise the next batch. Honeybee family planning- or mating in animal terms- is unique to the bee species. Known as “brood cells”, the Queen Bee lays her eggs in them after returning from mating with a male bee. Incubating the developing honeybee, the brood cells are where the egg goes from larvae to pupa to eventually, a live honeybee. 

As Beezy Beez is known for its signature New York Raw Honey, there are many things you can use honey for, as well as a teaspoon if you’re craving some afternoon energy. If you want to try something new from Beezy Beez this holiday season, look no further. To make a mundane meal such as breakfast 10 times more appetizing, try adding honey to your next bowl of oatmeal by using creamed honey. Creamed honey, unlike regular honey, doesn’t have the liquid texture or the pure gold hue, but it is still found to have every nutrient and vitamin as raw honey. 

Our creamed honey can be used as a topical ointment for aches, pains, and stiffness, as well as in the kitchen when making something to eat. Creamed honey can be used to be spread on muffins, toast, bagels, bread, and you can even pour some in your afternoon tea. Creamed honey has a pale golden color that kind of shares similarities with butter. Our Beezy Beez Creamed Honey is available in original honey flavor and cinnamon flavor, as well as CBD-infused.

Creamed honey is worth trying, so make sure to purchase yourself a jar or two. Other honey variations available are our Hott honey, Original, and Italian truffle. 

Our New York Raw Honey is made with human health in mind, and creamed honey is something you need to try as soon as possible. With its thick consistency and sweet taste, creamed honey is flying off the shelves fast at Beezy Beez.

There would not be such a thing as delicious, raw local honey if not for pollination. Pollination is an important and valuable part of a honey bee’s life cycle, and sets the bees on a track to preserving their colony, or home, as well as making enormous contributions to the environment. 

The term pollination refers to the function of pollen among flowers. Pollen is the main source of energy and protein for honey bees, and as the bees transfer pollen from one plant to another, this gives the plants the sources they need to produce the healthiest crops, including fruits, vegetables, and legumes. Bees thrive inside and outside of their hives, especially in areas that are flower-heavy. When the bees swarm across a field of flowers, they collect nectar and pollen, which is beneficial to them developing larvae in the hive, for reproduction of their own species as well as the reproduction of flowers and other plants. 

Flowers are made up of more than just the pretty colored petals we see every spring. On every flower there are: 

sepals (which open and fold back, making an opening for the budding petals) .

Filaments, which are stalk-like structures that support the pollen-producing anthers. 

Pollen grains, which contain genetic material of a male that is transported into the female structures known as stigmas. 

Then, there are ovules (female structure at the base of a plant, that becomes fertilized) and nectaries which produce nectar for animal visitors like bees to collect.

One of the most common flowers for bees to pollinate is the "Bee Balm", which are hot pink in color and bloom in the spring. Others include the  Asters, with daisy-like purple petals, Goldenrods, and the famous Sunflower. 

Bees are known to be foragers, or harvesters and gatherers. Because bees are foragers, they collect food and nutrients for the colony and the flowers they pollinate. The bees' hairy fuzz-like texture helps them attract pollen and finding a space to pollinate. Honey bees, or worker bees, may also take their collected quantities of nectar and pollen back to the hive and pour it into the honeycomb, thus beginning the honey making process.

Pollination is important so that bees can remain alive and healthy, even when humans are afraid of them. Bees bring so much to our world that sometimes, humans forget to consider all of the good things bees bring us. So, before freaking out if one is flying around, let them bee. Without the process of pollination, there would be no way for bees to make raw honey like Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey. Pollination is the job the bees get done, keeping them "beezy" while helping the world around them.

What if you had to choose between sweet and spicy, but could not make a decision? Maybe you wanted honey with a more loaded flavor. Or, maybe you just like spicy foods over plain. While Staten Island’s Beezy Beez Honey Company is best known for its flavorful Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey, there is one culinary trend that many foodies love making its way into our honey: spice. Frank’s Red Hot sauce is found on many recipes from wings to dipping sauces, and it’s also found in our Beezy Beez Hot Honey. 

Beezy Beez Hot Honey is simply that: Our Raw Local Honey, infused with Frank’s Red Hot. Spicy foods are not always everyone’s cup of tea, or spoonful of honey, if we’re beeing real here, but, many people enjoy spicy foods and therefore, need options for when they want to cook something with honey. 

The origins of Frank’s Red Hot sauce began back in 1896, when entrepreneur Jacob Frank established the Frank Tea and Spice Company, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Some of the company’s top selling products were teas, olives, peanut butter, and spices. Frank’s Red Hot sauce was made by mixing cayenne peppers with vinegar and other spices, and then the sauce would be aged before bottling. The hot sauce was first bottled in 1920. 

Today, Frank’s Red Hot is the most popular hot sauce brand. 

Beezy Beez Hot Honey can be used to add a kick of spice to many foods one would mostly find on the grill, including chicken, steak, and ribs. Being a total foodie myself, I’m definitely a meat and potatoes kind of girl. So, barbeque foods, steaks, chicken wings, and all that tasty stuff is right up my alley. In the summertime, I enjoy getting behind the grill and making a steak or a burger, and in the fall, I usually hit a trendy tavern for some wings. 

To purchase a bottle of our Hott Honey go to http://www.newyorkrawhoney.com/ if you want to order online, or in person at our Victory Boulevard store.

Beezy Beez produces its well known original Beezy Beez Raw Honey, which is a fan favorite. Unlike processed regular honey, raw honey has nutritional benefits. On the question of raw versus regular honey, what makes raw honey the healthier option? Raw honey is all natural, unprocessed, and does not contain additives such as corn syrup and sugar. Being left unheated and unpasteurized is how raw honey gets its signature flavor and function. Raw honey is healthy honey, and can improve heart health and regulate levels of blood sugar. It has also been found to be rich in antioxidants, which give a person vitamins. Among the variations available to purchase include Original (2 Lb, 1 Lb, or 12 Oz), Black Truffle Honey, True Manuka Honey, and the trendy Hot Honey. With a handful of selections to choose from, customers will be able to find their favorite flavors and more. In addition to its raw honey collection, Beezy Beez has a menu of coffees to try whether you are inside their shop or on the go. 

With coffee being an important meal of one’s day for some, it is true that everyone prefers their coffee differently. Some like a classic, hot cup of black coffee, and others may just like theirs with milk and sugar. Some might not like any coffee at all- but that’s nothing to worry about when there is tea and lemonade! Signature drinks include the Skinny Iggy (an iced skim latte), the fruity and refreshing Berry Bossman, a honey-infused green tea refresher called “Tropic Like It’s Hot” which includes hints of lime and mango, and even the option most fit for the season- the pumpkin-spiced triple espresso known as our “Talk a Latte”.
