This past Tuesday, February 18th, I had the honor of speaking with the dedicated production team at Beezy Beez Honey, the number 1 spot for local honey in Staten Island. At this unique grab and go, foodies alike can purchase raw, local honey that’s been unprocessed, along with other things such as specialty refreshers and coffees. They can even ask for a drizzle of raw honey in their morning or afternoon java! And, it’s more than just a honey shop. 

Recently, Beezy Beez launched a line of edibles. While CBD and THC are controversial topics of conversation, the team did not hesitate to share their experiences of how this natural approach to common health woes such as chronic pain, sleep issues, and anxiety changed their lifestyle. We also talked about how honey is made from start to finish at Beezy Beez. Read along to learn more!

Sidney Mansueto: What would you say is the first step to making edibles? 

Quality Assurance Manager: The first step is always having everything we need such as the right ingredients such as gelatin formula and the mold to make enough. 

Sidney Mansueto: Gotcha. Edibles have been proven by regular users and even the medical community to be a more natural and calming approach to common health issues, rather than resorting to over the counter, pharmaceutical medicine that often comes with rather concerning side effects. How have they helped you in your own wellness journey?

Quality Assurance Manager: I’ve had painful arthritis for years, but when I learned about CBD oil, I tried it and found it to work for me. Now, I apply it very frequently and think it’s helped me in other areas of life, especially here as the Quality Assurance Manager, where I am on my feet for most of the day, making sure operations run smoothly. 

Sidney Mansueto: I think if people want to use the THC edibles they should be able to take baby steps and learn how to use them responsibly and safely, especially with the fentanyl scare being so common nowadays. How does the team approach the words “safety first” in the process of making edibles?

Quality Assurance Manager: Just like honey, edibles are also strictly tested for safety, and with us being licensed by New York State to sell edibles, everything is 100% safe as it’s been tested. The only time a person could get a “bad bag” of marijuana is if they buy it from a dealer. Dealers sell products illegally, and are not tested or licensed by the state similar to how legitimate companies like ours are.  

Sidney Mansueto: As I understand, THC and CBD are two different things and I think it is great that people have options. What do you think is the better choice for a first timer who is interested in trying natural medicine?

Quality Assurance Manager: Definitely CBD, because it won’t get someone high and I think that’s a small step as well as one that could ease someone’s worry. CBD, like a lot of natural oils, is a good relaxer and very soothing. 

A key member of the production team shared with me not only how CBD has changed her overall health journey, but also how it has positively impacted her performance in the workforce. Working in quality assurance, she is constantly on the move and ensuring operations function before, during, and after peak honey production season. In addition to our conversation about Beezy Beez's edibles launch, we also talked about how Beezy Beez makes its signature product - fresh, raw local honey like no other honey I've tasted before. 

I was taken on a tour throughout the manufacturing site where large pieces of metal equipment were hooked up and prepared for honey making. 

Sidney Mansueto: Let’s talk about local honey. What’s a typical day of production like?

Quality Assurance Manager: Because honey production slowed down as it’s Winter, I’ll show you around the site to see how honey is made. During peak production in the spring and summer, we take the raw honey made from the bees and pour it into a metal machine to strip the honey from any bee leftovers such as chipped wood pieces from the hives. Once the honey is all clean, we take it to the next step of cleaning it extra. Once that is done, the honey gets bottled for distribution in a timed machine. 

Sidney Mansueto: It’s interesting to see up close how good manufacturing gets done. Are there any new honey creations coming?

Quality Assurance Manager: Currently we are working on something for dogs. We already have CBD dog biscuits for sale, but this new product is similar to honey. For humans though, we are working on restocking apple pie honey. 

Sidney Mansueto: I also heard about Blueberry Honey. I love anything with berries! Any word on when that will be on the shelves? 

Quality Assurance Manager: Blueberry honey is a summer thing, and it hasn't been made in a while. Maybe it will make a comeback next summer!

Sidney Mansueto: There is always something new to try at Beezy Beez. It was a pleasure speaking with you. Thank you for your time today!

Quality Assurance Manager: You're very welcome. 

After wrapping up my interview with the production team, I spent some time in the shop deciding what to bring back home for my folks to try. A jar of raw honey was a definite, I also brought home some natural lavender soap, to upgrade my self care routine by using only the best natural products. Everything is made pure and fresh at Beezy Beez Honey, and you can see for yourself when you visit the store at 3755 C Victory Boulevard, or shop online at http://www.newyorkrawhoney.com/ 

Beezy Beez Honey is New York’s local grab-and-go that gives you a taste of something very sweet! Take a walk in to Beezy Beez Honey shop and cafe to try some delicious raw, local honey and relaxing refreshers! 

Raw honey is unlike regular honey that you typically find among grocery store aisles in that recognizable teddy bear shaped jar. Made purely with a strong attention to sustainability, raw honey is a healthier alternative that will for sure make you want more. With its delicious flavor and all natural presence, buying local honey is the way to buy honey in 2025. 

Why buy raw, local honey?

Beezy Beez Honey is raw, made fresh daily, and is a healthy honey that prides itself in quality. Every bottle of Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey is made 100% pure with 100% of all its valuable nutrients that keep your body and mind strong and healthy. Buying local honey not only gives you a wider variety of nutrition, there is a difference but deliciousness in the taste. Regular honey has a liquid consistency that makes the honey feel loose, whereas raw honey is thick and had no heating done to it during manufacturing. Manufacturing raw honey that’s safe and made sustainably is always at the top of the To-Do list at Beezy Beez Honey. 

Beezy Beez doesn’t go bad, ever! 

Raw honey has many superpowers as it is known as a “Superfood”, and one of its unique traits is its ability to not spoil. Raw honey does not go bad, as fast as regular honey. Raw honey has a long shelf life, and it is best to eat raw honey and keep it stored  over a period of 12 months. While honey does not necessarily “spoil”, it can crystallize and thicken more. Even though it hardens when crystallizing, raw honey can still be eaten when chopped into bite-size pieces. 

Beezy Beez Raw honey is rich in antioxidants and vitamins. It's made local in New York, and is the #1 shop for local honey in New York!

The unique grab and go spot in Staten Island is the place to refresh your mind and body with a coffee to wake you up, or a refreshing blend of berries or mango. There are many options on the menu at Beezy Brew Cafe, and, you can order any tea or coffee to your liking. During a visit to the honey shop, I tried 3 different drinks from the menu- all of which impressed me, but the one that reigned supreme was the Berry Bossman. I enjoy anything with berries, and whether it is a juice blend, smoothie, or a dessert, berries are a real flavor maker. I suggest that when you're in the area, try one of these that I did:

Berry Bossman: A berry good blend of berry puree and green tea refresher with frozen berries. Red in color, but delicious in flavor, this refresher is as relaxing as it sounds. It is enjoyable on any day of the week. The Berry Bossman is sweet. I knew I had to try this one because... berries! 10/10.

Iced Coffee with Raw Honey Oat Milk: I was trying to find an alternative to whole milk since I had it in my morning cup of coffee, so I went with Oat milk for this iced afternoon pick me up. I wanted a coffee that had what I was looking for, but still able to keep me energetic. I also asked for a drizzle of Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey, because honey-infused coffees are a staple at Beezy Beez Honey. The coffee tasted strong, with the bold flavor that java is known for, and was delicious with the addition of raw local honey.

Iced Peach Sweet Tea: I was craving iced tea, and I love iced tea with peach flavor. Sweet as it sounds, this drink amazed me. I felt calm as I enjoyed it, and would definitely order it again.

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. 

Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey is produced and packaged in Staten Island, New York City and is made from real hives with licensed and skilled beekeepers who closely monitor the hives and bees safely, from beginning to end per cycle.

If you are an occupied working person looking for a quick morning bite, a student who needs to stay on track, or a busy parent who wants to make something new for your children in the morning before school, this is a breakfast you need to try. It is delicious with the addition of Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey, which you can buy for 2 Pounds, 12 Ounces, or 1 Pound,  or online or at our Staten Island cafe and shop. Our website http://www.newyorkrawhoney.com/ is here to help you meet your expectations and is happy to introduce you to the best natural honey.

When you think about purchasing a jar of Beezy Beez New York Raw Honey, you might begin brainstorming how to incorporate the sweetest of New York’s local food scene into your Thanksgiving dinner. Thanksgiving is a time for family, flavor, fall colors, and who could forget the main attraction of the day- Turkey! As I was browsing ideas for a honey glaze, I spotted a recipe that would be sure to be simple to fix and even amaze your guests. Everyone appreciates a good meal, and because Thanksgiving is approaching, it is best to gather any information on recipes now rather than later. A recipe like this honey glaze will help the turkey be the shining star of your Thanksgiving dinner!

Thanksgiving has been one of my favorite holidays for as long as I can remember, and my parents have been proudly hosting the holiday for more than 30 years, beginning back when they were newlyweds. Every Thanksgiving, my mom starts cooking at 8:00 AM sharp, and my sister and I await the food to be ready. For a while, we channel surf between the exciting Dog Show and NFL Football. When guests arrive, then I assume it’s time for appetizers- which are usually olives, walnuts, cheese and crackers, fresh fruit, or a smorgasbord of italian meats like salami and prosciutto. I try not to fill up on the tasty apps, because I like to save a lot of room for the turkey. It is custom in my house to cook two turkeys, one in the oven, and a second one in a deep fryer which is cooked crispy and golden. I watch and wait patiently for the turkey to be ready. It’s my favorite dish on the menu, with stuffing being a close second. There’s nothing more Thanksgiving than sliced turkey topped with stuffing, drenched in the juiciest gravy. Yum! 

I do want to add, sometimes change is good, even if it’s for a little while. If you feel in the mood to change the recipe this year and swap your traditional turkey for a turkey glazed with Beezy Beez Raw Honey, following these steps will help a lot especially if this is your first time making a honey glazed turkey. 

To make the perfect honey glaze you will need:

1 Cup of 12 oz Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey

2 Cups of Brown Sugar

½ Cup of Dijon Mustard (Any brand that you prefer is fine to use)

2 Tablespoons of unsalted butter

2 Tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar

Place your ingredients for the glaze into a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a simmer by stirring nicely, breaking up lumpy chunks of sauce, so that the glaze is smooth and shiny. Once the turkey is fully roasted, handle it carefully out of the oven, and baste it with your Beezy Beez Honey glaze. Place the turkey back into the oven uncovered, for 20-30 minutes more. 

Thanksgiving is an important day for me and my family every year, as it’s a gathering of being appreciative of the memories we get to make in life, and giving thanks to one another for their presence, traditions, and unconditional love.

This Beezy Beez Raw Honey glaze is a new addition to your kitchen that you must try, and Beezy Beez New York Raw Honey is available to buy in 2 pounds, 12 ounces, or 1 pound. You can also try a honey glazed turkey with our Hott Honey, or our amazing Original flavor if you are new to our brand. To shop with us for this Thanksgiving, head to http://www.newyorkrawhoney.com/

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.  

At Beezy Beez, we make our specialty- New York Raw Honey, an unprocessed and all natural honey that lets nature do all of the talking. By visiting http://www.newyorkrawhoney.com/ you can learn all about how we preserve nature through our craft of honey making.
